Monday

I felt that it was time for a change in the Home Page visuals.  This remains one of my favorite moments of last Fall's trip to Italy/France.  The summit of The Galibier.  With no gas left in the tank.

Early spin today.  My guess is that the Over/Under call on the number of my actual future attendance days at spin class this Sping is 20.  Maybe 15.  If 20, take the Under.  If 15. I'd have to take the Over.  It really kind of depends on April weather.  With the time "Springing Forward" this weekend, there will be more than adequate daylight to get in some rides after work in a couple of weeks.

The follow-up stories on the punch thrown last week by the Baylor women's basketball player have been all over the place.  Several have said that a two-game suspension was inadequate, while others have taken various positions to the contrary.  One guy wanted to let it go because it was a current day example of the parity between the men's and women's game. Huh? Tell that to the Oregon running back who punched out the Boise State player and spent the next two months in Purgatory.  Whatever.

Then you have a very popular NASCAR driver, Carl Edwards, sending another driver and car around yesterday in retalliation for an incident earlier in the race, only to see the bumped car go airborne and crash upside down in a real mess.  Not only did he commit the crime with intent, we're talking probably hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to the wrecked car and the subsequent wrecks that could be blamed on the first one.  Carl needs a severe penalty or the Code of The West will make these races Pay Back City for each case of bump-'n-run.

Still no deposit from The Gap.

More later.

LATER:  One last follow-up on an earlier entry.  The PGA has reached a settlement with Ping to officially put those 20 year-old wedges with square grooves fully out to pasture.  There had been some bad press in an early tournament when Phil Michelson had legally used these clubs that don't conform to new rules.  Makes one wonder why they couldn't get this handled before it became news.

And for those with any interest in women's NCAA records, UConn set a new win streak mark when they beat ND for their 71st straight tonight.  The 15 point win was a "close" game, comparatively speaking.
