I knew sooner or later I would do this. I just hoped it would be later than Day 3.
I don’t have the time to see one coherent thought through from beginning to a logical end. So I find myself tempted to note a few quick thoughts and be done. I used to do these all the time in college, whenever the op-ed page or sports section had white space that needed filling. One of my colleagues coined a term for my style of column that I won’t use here, except to refer you to what Woody Allen said on the subject in my defense.
There are some writers who can do this with skill, the rest of us sound like Larry King’s old USA TODAY column. Or a ransom note…
I could just use an email I wrote to a friend this morning, as he did to me on his blog. But my response to him was nowhere near as well formed. If you’re interested in the contemporary Catholic Church, his blog is well worth the read. I disagree with him often, but he’s smart, serious, and earnest. Not unlike a clerical David Brooks…
It’s Homecoming weekend at Bonas. Always brings back a lot of memories. The first homecoming game I remember going to was with Mike Conroy when we were about 12. I think we played George Washington, won big. But the thing I remember most was a lot of people crowd surfing in the old bleachers. A lot of talk occurs on the bandwagon about the crowds not being like the old days. I agree in terms of numbers, but in other ways it may not be so bad…
It’s still college basketball, and to a lesser extent, hockey season. But spring training starts next week to give those of us with snow measured in feet some bit of hope. And I know all my Red Sox fans will be relieved to know, the Cubs’ equipment got to Mesa safely…
