503–Aftershock

Well, I got two shocks yesterday.

One, the earthquake from Virginia that was felt al the way up here in Connecticut. I was sitting at my desk in work when I felt the floor shook slightly, and my monitor was swaying a bit. Interesting as I’d never felt an earthquake before.
Many buildings in our area were evacuated, but no major problems were found.

Secondly was the news that Hall of Fame Coach Pat Summitt, women’s basketball coach for the Tennessee Volunteers, has been diagnosed with early stage dementia.
To understand why this means anything to me, you have to understand that Pat, and Geno Auriemma, the coach of the UCONN Husky Women’s basketball team, are the fiercest of rivals. People who know me know I’m a very big College Basketball fan, both men's and women's. She’s one of the top and most respected coaches and in the world, in either game. She’s one of those people almost larger than life.

Aside from that, the weather’s been gorgeous here. Beautiful, sunshiny days in the 80’s, and cool, dry evenings in the 50’s, great for sleeping.

On to something funny:
