Yeah, I think both teams will be much better by the end of the year. DQ and some of the others on Maryland are young but will learn to finish. Purdue is led by juniors but has a lot of freshmen that should grow into their roles by the end of the year. Fingers crossed!

Absolutely! I watched the game except for about 10 minutes of the second half when I was busy helping the kid with his essay. The Terps are looking good this year!

Sujey says that eating sweet potato pie does not count as eating my vegetables. I don’t need this kind of negativity.

The question, ‘What have I done? is one that we may well ask ourselves, as we read each day of fresh atrocities…—as we create, or mouth, or tolerate the deceptions that will be used to justify the next defense of freedom.”

Macdonald concludes: ‘Only those who are willing to resist authority themselves when it conflicts too intolerably with their personal moral code, only they have the right to condemn the death-camp paymaster.’

who burst into tears when told that the Russians would hang him. ‘Why should they? What have I done?’ he asked.

The other day I read Chomsky’s 1967 “Responsibility of Intellectuals.” As some know, I am a fan of beautiful academic writing (a sadly too-rare thing). Chomsky concludes by drawing on a piece by Dwight MacDonald: “Macdonald quotes an interview with a death-camp paymaster

Writing about the university professor life, Max Weber: “Do you in all conscience believe that you can stand seeing mediocrity after mediocrity, year after year climb beyond you, without becoming embittered and without coming to grief? I have found that only a few men [sic] could endure this.” LOL

Normally when I wake up at 3:00am with a great research idea, it takes about 10 minutes to realize it’s pretty stupid. Well it’s after 9:00 and I still think it’s a great idea, so now I need Sujey to come home and tell me it’s a knuckleheaded idea.

The better question might be “why?”

I’m trying to figure out how someone can write a book about 20th century public intellectuals in the US and NOT talk about Baldwin.

To some, this is a blocking call. For Sujey, at Jayden’s scrimmage, this means “sassy pants.”

If BlueSky is going to thrive, it clearly needs more college basketball content
