Quick update - Went to church and breakfast with brother John on Sunday. Lately I've been seeing John about once a year, maybe that'll improve now that he's moving back to Illinois. Wait a second, that's about as often as I see any of my brothers.
I've been neglecting my blog responsibilities to read a lot on the markets. "He does not sleep - he waits."
Also I'm reading about Notre Dames's football future. The folks at Rock's House have the pitchforks, sickles. shillelaghs and torches in their hands and they're marching on the castle demanding the athletic director, Kevin White, be thrown to the mob. They think his negotiation of our Bowl Championship Series and our Adidas deals were badly done. They think his plan to go to a seven home, four away and one neutral game schedule will reduce the level of competetiveness of our opponents. Good teams won't come to ND to play one year if we won't play them at their home in the next year. So we'll play some patsies, have an easier schedule and get to keep the home game ticket receipts. A lot of teams do that kind of thing, but we haven't been one of them. But the item that really has them fulminating is that he keeps dropping hints that he wants to install a Jumbotron in the stadium.
Since his contract goes to 2012, the only hope is that Chicago gets the Olympics and Mayor Dailey hires him away from us.
On a lighter note, one poster felt sorry enough for White to post this.
