I was walking past Starbucks the other day. The music playing inside was the theme from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." A little part of me died.
Autocross in the rain is possibly the most fun you can have in a car. For maximum entertainment, make sure the traction control is off. Please note: if you are going sideways, the speedometer tends to be unreliable.
Dilemma: is believing in the Jazz worth the risk? If you believe and they lose the pain is that much worse. But if you don't believe and they do win, the victory is not as sweet. Being able to say "I told you so" is hardly comforting when they lose. Is this the same as Pascal's wager? Or do the actual probabilities matter?

as per the jazz...
last year, i tried with all of my heart to act like i didn't care when they were doing well. it was the only way i could handle the inevitability of their eventual loss in the conference finals. however, i realized that in acting so nonchalant, i was choosing a falsehood that had no hope of producing happiness.
this year, i committed myself to cheering for the jazz with all my heart, might, mind, and soul, and with the exception of a stretch of 10-15 games in December, i have thoroughly enjoyed the ride--far more so than last year when i would covertly check the box scores, hoping no one would notice.
i hope the jazz win it all. i think they can. i don't think they will. i'll cheer them until the end, either way. either way, i maintain my own sense of integrity.
really, folks. it's just basketball. (Ack!!!)
