I assume you are referring to game 2 of the Barton basketball series. Of course, I am up for a game anytime. I have to admit, my own soccer career fizzled this year. I only managed to start one game, and spent the rest of the season nursing a plethora of ankle and achilles tendon injuries. Hopefully, I can get out for one more season next year.

Finished reading two books in the last few days. First one was Bias by Bernard Goldberg, a CBS news reporter who's reporting on the Lbieral bias in the media. He makes a few interesting observations about the bias of the media, but there really isn't enough much substance to this book to merit the 200 plus pages the book takes up. Of particular interest is his assertion that the media underemphasizes/condones working moms leaving their children at day cares, a situation which he thinks is the great untold story of modern day America. Still, an interesting read, though it might be a little conservative for the BDPs of this world.

Second book that I've been reading (stayed up until 2am the past two nights to finish it, is "It's Not About the Bike" by Tour de France champ and more importantly, cancer survivor, Lance Armstrong. I'm not usually one to flog autobiographies of this sort, especially not those by athletes, but this book is a great read. In the cynical world of professional sports that we observe on a day to day basis, where we try our hardest to make heroes out of people like Jordan or Kobe or Clyde Drexler in an attempt to give us somebody, anybody to look up to, it is inspiring to read the life story of this guy with the superhero name. His story, to put it simply, is fucking awesome.
