Hi Honey, How's Boston?

Jim and Lisette in the darkroom.

Two Things About Today:
1. I got an A- in Deterministic Models! At the beginning of the class, around the time I finished the first quiz, I would have told you this class was not going to go well at all.
2. Tickets for Boston have been purchased and I will be ringing in the new year in the frigid land of Massachusetts. Call me on New Year's Eve if you would like to do a live performance of The Ice of Boston.

Everyone Loves Pirates:

Last year, after a loss to Texas A.&M. in overtime, Leach hauled the team into the conference room on Sunday morning and delivered a three-hour lecture on the history of pirates. Leach read from his favorite pirate history, "Under the Black Flag," by David Cordingly (the passages about homosexuality on pirate ships had been crossed out). The analogy to football held up for a few minutes, but after a bit, it was clear that Coach Leach was just . . . talking about pirates. The quarterback Cody Hodges says of his coach: "You learn not to ask questions. If you ask questions, it just goes on longer."

Check out this great article about Mike Leach, the coach of Texas Tech Raiders. I'll have to watch the Cotton Bowl so I can see some of Leach's non-traditional offensive schemes.
