The Ides of March

The Pistons are at fifty wins and twelve losses. Woo-hoo! Lately I've been favoring Chauncey Billups for personal favorite, but Rasheed Wallace has that Tar Heel connection and such an expressive personality. Billups is a pure soldier of the game. The Pistons are one of the best things Detroit has going, hence the fascination.

Are men necessary? No, but we keep things interesting, certainly. Gender balance, the yin and the yang. Do I love women? Yes! Don't off the more brutal sex anytime soon, please. Maureen Dowd's latest book is humorous and biting, another collection of insightful essays, this one about about the gender wars. A funnier read than Valerie Solanas' S.C.U.M. Manifesto, believe me.

Today was one of those juggling acts, a complicated Goodfellas kind of schedule without the violence. Everything worked, amazingly, but I'm exhausted and looking forward to having two weeks off, no daytime commitments, just Monday and Wednesday evenings until the first week in April. When it will be spring!

Hope everyone's making it out there. Trent's moving to L.A. next month, so we'll probably get together in the meantime and he'll answer a few technical questions about blogging, things like adding a daily meter, arrangement of pictures and refining the archives headings. Among other things. It's been an interesting learning experience so far. Just about everything is these days!
