As a contrast - when Reggie White was big back in the 90s, if you went to games you saw an interesting thing. At the end of the game, he and other religious Christian players would kneel in a large prayer circle on the field. Usually was about 30 guys.
Isn't there some Promise Keepers-esque fringe sect that's very big on recruiting NFL players sort of the way Scientology tries to collect Hollywood celebrities?
I've never encountered any news organization that didn't have a Celebrity Deathwatch list. My department puts together "just in case" clip reels every couple of months.
Oh, of course -- and I'm sure they have other things available for rerunning in case of Major Leader Death, but Mandela is the only one who ever came up.
probably.
Probably operating on the Clay Davis "I'll take anybody's money if he's just giving it away!" principle.
Wouldn't surprise me. Bleh.
It is 70 degrees in New Orleans today. I am glad my days of 20 degree weather are behind me (for the time being, anyway.) Also? FORTY DEGREES IS COLD.
It's certainly not puffer-coat weather!
I keep thinking 40 degrees is cold, and then I bring my coat and I'm pleasantly surprised by how nice it is, so I end up leaving my coat in the car. OK, it helps that it's been really sunny here these last few days.
40 is about my cutoff for Really Big Coat weather, mainly because my office is on a wind-tunnel street right by the Hudson.
I have discovered the pleasures of the Bright Red Long Coat during the gloomy days of winter. I'm resisting wearing my BRLC every day, because it won't be Bright Red for long if I drag it out through everything.
