A Dark and Sleepless Night

I should try to write more blogs when I can't sleep at night. It sure beats laying around in bed, waiting in vain for the sleep fairy to arrive.

Pointless ramble...points:

- At least Clemson fans have the basketball team to be happy about over the winter. We are 16-0, 2-0 in ACC play, and at the end of the first major upset Saturday, we stand alone as the last remaining unbeaten Division I team. Not a bad start. But it is far too early to start dreaming of tourneys and Final Fours. Let's see if we can keep this breakneck pace up once we really get into the teeth of conference play.

- The Dallas Cowboys' season came to an end this evening. Tony Romo now must endure the undeserved indignation of "losing" the Cowboys' final game after he personally put them in position to make a playoff run in the first place. Guess this also puts forth another long chapter in the annual offseason Terrell Owens saga. I'll pass.

- Happy 15 months, Anna Kate! I love you!!

- The Weather Channel's extended forecast gives me the first glimmer of hope that a snow 'event' is coming in the near future. Mark down Monday, January 15 as our first shot, at least on a forecast model.

- Chandler sent me an email saying that she and Will were determined that I have fun the last few months of my senior year. Other than the delightful times that I've had with Anna Kate, I've largely forgotten what "fun" is. :) Again, best of luck finding me over the winter.
