Thursday

Great evening last night for Augie. The visiting Illinois Wesleyan boys weren't prepared for the defensive intensity that Augie brought to the game. Lots of heroes. The win means that they get to host the conference tourney next Friday. If they win their last regular season game in Chicago on Saturday, they win the conference outright. They can do no worse than a tie.

The NYT put itself right on the front page of the news in every media form today with the McClain story. The vetting that goes on in national politics is awful.

I'm headed down to the Figge for a little culture tonight. Some kind of presentation on the Audubon bird exhibition. 2 is in charge.

4 is traveling to C-town this weekend for a Greek Council convention of a sort. She's staying at a hotel out by O'Hare that we may have stayed at years ago as a fam. Sounds like it will be mostly work and no play for her. Which doesn't quite jell with the historical reputation of college Greek life. Then again, maybe I've been given the parents' story.

OK. I'm off to the museum.
