Couple of things

Today is perhaps the laziest day in the history of lazy days. I slept until almost noon, and I've been glued to the Discovery channel ever since. Now I'm blogging, but then I intend to get some work done!

Catching up in Stilly
I talked to two important Stillwater figures yesterday, one via email and one via speakerphone. It was good to touch base with both. I really miss OSU. And they both helped me re-align my focus. As I was giving my soap box on my philosophy of balance, I really started believing it again. It made me feel good. Though I did admit to one of the two that sometimes my philosophy is merely an excuse to put off studying. :) But it turned out well for me last semester, so I'm not too super worried about it now.

The major thing going on there right now is the whole Eddie Sutton deal. It's pretty crappy of him to do, and I am horrified that he did it, but he is a pretty sympathetic character. People in Stillwater LOVE this man. And he's struggling with chronic pain. I'm not saying it's an excuse, I'm just saying it's really sad. The man's 6 wins away from 800. He's #5 on the list of most wins for NCAA Division 1 coaches. It's sad to see the end of his career marred in this way.
What it does do is bring up an interesting point we were discussing in Crim this week about preferential treatment - should celebrities like Sutton and Cheney be treated differently in criminal cases? Most people agree they shouldn't get preferential treatment, but should they be made an example of/treated more harshly than others? Something to think about...

Medical mumbo-jumbo, hopefully the last word
I got a call from my spinal specialist yesterday. Apparently I had a hemangioma, which made my bone weak and led to my fracture. It could have stayed there, silently resting, but instead I decided to go sledding and smack it around a bit. :) Oh well...
