Let Us Remember

Plenty of time to blog on poker later. Today, as I sit here in my office in my Virginia Tech golf shirt, over the top of my Hokies United T-shirt, thinking about my Good Doctor Mondo participating in her lie-in against gun violence at noon, it's awfully hard not to dwell on a year ago today.



We will continue to invent the future through our blood and tears and through all our sadness.... We will prevail....

-- Nikki Giovanni, University Distinguished Professor, poet, activist




The Good Doctor Hokie Mondo and I will be attending a memorial service this evening. And, really, all we can ask for is that no school ever have to bear such tragedy.

Not A Good Day to Be A Hokie

There's nothing quite like the look of defeat. Oh well. At least the Good Doctor Mondo and I made the right decision to view the debacle from the comfort of our sofa, instead of amongst the tears of her fellow Hokie alums in a Denvah sports bar.

The irony is, Kansas won the game pretty much by playing Hokie football - big special teams plays and turnovers. Much like Sean Glennon, I can barely watch.

But hey, at least my Colorado Rockies are about to sign...you guessed it...Josh Towers. Pardon me if I contain my enthusiam.
