GA Russell

There was an article in this morning's Wall St. Journal about the guy batting eleventh and having such a good day.

The Ticats' new ballpark will be called Tim Hortons Field (apparently no apostrophe in Hortons). http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4608659 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=427533 ***** Saskatchewan Roughriders 39....Toronto Argonauts 28 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4608676 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=427530 The Riders remain undefeated. The Argos started strong, but faded in the first half when an interception returned for a touchdown was called back for pass interference. The Riders' Taj Smith caught two bombs for TDs.

As I recall, the exact quote was something like..."I find that the more I love humanity, the more I dislike individuals."

Dostoyevsky made that point in one of his novels, I think The Brothers Karamasov.

Thanks, aloc! That's an interesting article. During my first thirty years I was very extroverted. But I have found myself becoming much more introverted over the past fifteen years.

Thanks guys! I'll look into it.

The Wall St. Journal Friday referred to Zeuhl Music, which it described as "A dark and gloomy jazz-rock fusion genre heavily influenced by the French band Magma." I've never heard of this before. I remember Magma from thirty years ago. Is anyone familiar with this? Are there any bands or albums you can recommend?

Here's an interesting list. We have 5 Guys here, and I think their cheeseburger is great. http://www.thedailymeal.com/america-s-top-10-chain-burgers-slideshow

Charles Carr died last week. He was driving the car when Hank Williams died. http://www.savingcountrymusic.com/charles-carr-driver-for-hank-williams-last-ride-dies-at-77

Edmonton Eskimos 30....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 20 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4607424 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=427201 Heavy downpour for much of the game. Wet ball, often dropped. The Eskimos scored the first sixteen points, and the Ticats never caught up. After two weeks, the Ticats are the only winless team.

Saskatchewan Roughriders 36....Calgary Stampeders 21 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4607133 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=427073 It was a tale of two halves. The Stampeders looked great in the first half, but didn't do much in the second. The Riders are the only team in the league which hasn't lost yet, and that is before the second week is over!

Happy Birthday 2013 Barak!

Happy Birthday 2013 Jack!
