I'm not usually particularly anti-rain, but I really haven't been in the mood for it the last couple of days.

I noticed in the paper a couple days ago that it was Jennifer Capriati's 28th birthday. "It can't be her 28th," I thought. "They must mean 26th or so -- I know she was born the same year I was, and I'm only..."

I'm older than I realized.

The Duke women are not in the final four.

The Tennessee women nearly missed the final four. For the second game in a row, they won by two points.

If I had anything interesting to report about me, I'd report it. Until I have, I'll try to keep you up-to-date on sports.

The UConn women's basketball team did better than I expected in beating Penn State by about fifteen. This is the fifth year in a row that they've made the final four, which is a record.

Every time a women's team and a men's team from the same school have made the final four, neither team has won the title. This is out of four or five occurrences, IIRC. Eight or ten teams. This year, UConn has sent both teams to the final four, and Duke is likely to do the same. I could easily see the streak ending.

Julia Stiles is 23 today.
