Here's a link to the review of Houston Opera Vista's performance of Cabildo at the Cabildo as a part of the French Quarter Festival in New Orleans yesterday.

Straight Talk

What is Papa Murphy trying to say? Help me English majors. Is there any difference between "6 straight years" and "6 years straight"? Was their chain not totally straight seven years ago? Was it kinky, was it gay? Are they being duplicitous since they admit that some things never change?

Who would want a chain made out of pizza anyway? Especially when it isn't even half-baked.

B-ball(s)

Sure March Madness is in full swing, but now it's April Foolishness. Believe it or not, there was a time when the final games were in early March. I recall one year in particular when the championship game was on March 12th. It was a really good game right down to the final buzzer (I admit that I no longer remember who was playing). Fortunately it did not go into OT because by then the contractions were coming two minutes apart and we really did need to go to the hospital. Thirty minutes or so later we had a son.

Speaking of sports played after March, the Feather River College baseball team is currently ranked 26th in the nation. An amazing feat for the smallest community college in California. Way to go Golden Eagles! I guess I should try to give the players in my classes some slack.
