Notes

Piazza didn't make it. Biggio did.

Gopher's lost to Ohio State in OT at home last night. It hurts worse since it was a home game.

Jon Jones, the best UFC fighter in the world, tested positive for cocaine use. His status will take a hit with that one.

Mission Impossible, first season in HD, became available for $10 yesterday at iTunes. Needless to say, we started another marathon viewing session. A show way before its 1966 time.

Agent Carter got off to a fantastic start last night on ABC. It's great how Disney has integrated the whole Marvel Universe on TV and in movies, past and present. It's clear where Tony Stark got his brains and personality from, his dad Howard. Cliffhanger endings are a nice touch for a show rooted in the 40's.

Another major character death last night on Person of Interest. I'm bummed that they keep killing them, but at the same time amazed that network TV can produce such compelling television.  The best thought last night? The resident genius does not like chess because the basic concept of the game is that some people are worth more than others, and that some (by default worth less) can be sacrificed to win the game.

Good stuff.

With vacation in full swing and blizzards raging outdoors for the next few days, more great TV viewing lies ahead...
