At this moment:

• My beloved Chicago Bulls are trying to wrest control from the Orlando Magic for a chance for a fifth-place seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
• I'm counting down: two weeks and three days, to the hour, before I see my girlfriend again. It's been a loooooooooooong, long five months without her nearby.
• My teaching doesn't begin til 9 a.m. starting this morning.
• The White Sox are in a three way tie for first in the AL Central Division. The Cubs are in second-place in the NL Central. Baseball season lasts for another year and a half, though. So, no telling at this moment, but the Cubs are starting fairly strong. Wait til next year.
• A placard in a protest against violence occuring in Chicago Public Schools (this one in relatively peaceful south side Kennedy High after a beating of an honor roll student in a school assembly) proclaimed that, "Education is dieing." And how!
