Don't Call It A Comeback

I stayed up to watch Duke-Auburn yesterday, and while health-wise I am not sure it was a good idea, in every other sense it was.  First four minutes it looked as if they were going to be run out of the sanctuary of basketball that is Cameron Indoor Stadium, and I -- ashamedly -- rued my choice.  But, O ye of little faith, the Brotherhood recovered, and we soon had an impressive basketball game.  Defense, threes, key plays...it was awesome beyond belief.  It had to be, because -- as several others noted -- this was a must-win game, given the high-profile losses and the fact that the AZ win has lost some luster.  In the meantime, the ACC was...2-14 in the ACC/SEC challenge.  Who is coaching these teams, Ryan Day?  Good Lord.  Come March this sort of thing is going to keep teams out of the tourney, though that might not be a bad thing.

I had a breakfast meeting with our SVDP President this morning, which was... well, interesting.  The commute was surprisingly good; my side street was not plowed, but the main roads were, and they were better when I came home.  We had to change locales due to unexpected closures, but...it went well.  He had some good ideas, we talked issues about my District and Conferences, and he was bemused by my action lists... I told him that I often complete them, but also merge them into new lists.  I showed him my 24-item list from our last meeting, which had 23 crossed off (8 were OC things I did separately) and the other merged into the new one.  He kept my list to two, to which I added six more.  It is how I roll, I guess.  

Other than that it was work, drink coffee, and think about how I was going to bed early tonight, hell or high water.  I was going to watch a documentary, but tomorrow is another day, and with the weekend that is suspiciously clean, I may be able to do some list-knocking-off, which -- as yet another person discovered -- is one of my favorite activities.
