Corporate sent out an e-mail asking us to observe a moment of silence at 8:59 AM today, or 9:37, or whatever. Given that during this time of day I'm usually just sitting silently at my desk, is there something different I should be doing? Not typing or clicking the mouse? Turn down my radio? I certainly wasn't going to do that, they were playing Copland's "Lincoln Portrait", with narration (Adlai Stevenson), and that's something you never hear on the radio.

Instead I'll talk about football. I'm getting killed this weekend, both in office pool and fantasy, because there were so many upsets. The problem was, when in doubt I went with the home team, and most of the visiting teams won this week. And who'd have thought the Saints, Bears, and Rams would do so well this week? I must have to check the fantasy news before every game, because Cincinnati must have benched Houshmanzadeh just before kickoff. Tom Brady had a good day, unfortunately Chad Pennington had a better one. If Clinton Portis has a good night tonight, it'll thrown my whole world into doubt... =(
