Remember when the Ducks couldn't get into a bowl game at all? When having a winning record seemed impossible?
The Rose Bowl was a dream.
National Championship? Don't make me laugh.
So when the Ducks have a season where the consolation prize is the Rose Bowl, I guess we shouldn't feel too bad.
Meanwhile, a Bend school winning the state football championship. That too hasn't been likely for years. Bigger schools, bigger talent pool in the valley. (Yeah, well I suppose there are always Black Swans like Prineville, and that team that Gene Hackman coached in Indiana).
**********
Twilight Breaking Dawn. The reviews made this so utterly unappealing, that I doubt I'll ever see it. (I did watch the first three movies because I could fit them over a weekend...)
Meanwhile -- go see Hugo. Really. A great movie.
**********
Can we root for Tiger as an underdog now?
***********
Linda has a cold, for the second time this season.
I managed to avoid the last one against all odds. I'm not so sanguine about me chances this time.

About Me
- Duncan McGeary
- I'm Duncan McGeary, owner and/or operator for the last 39 years of Pegasus Books in Downtown Bend, Oregon. These days I'm writing books as well as selling them. I'm the comic book guy. But even more so, I'm a book book guy. Books of all kinds. Big books and little books, children's and adult, fiction and non-fiction, hardback and paperback and trade paperback and graphic novels. Books with more words than pictures and books with more pictures than words. They are all part of the book world to me, and I love being surrounded by them every day.

Tip: At the first sign of a cold start taking Airborne, three times a day. That shit works.
"Meanwhile -- go see Hugo. Really. A great movie."
Saw it today. Delightful, charming, and a visual feast. Not a "great movie" in the sense that Citizen Kane, Gone With the Wind, Schindler's List and the first two Godfathers are great movies, but most enjoyable.
