Remember how, yesterday, I didn’t feel too hot? That continues today.
Did manage to clean out a section of the garage. It seems we had more kitchenware than we needed. I’ve had a quality bachelor kitchen in boxes for years, inherited a lot of things from my lovely mother and then added The Yankee’s to the mix as well. We’ve been trying to offload it for a year to someone who might need bowls, silverware, pitchers and various other useful and decorative things. What didn’t get shipped off to individuals got donated today.
And I just realized there’s an entire plate set somewhere I didn’t discover today.
So I loaded up the car for a garbage run. And then I returned and used every free space in the car for a trip to the Salvation Army.
Unloaded it, watched the guys at the Salvation Army loading bay critique my offerings, got my receipt and then turned to home. About halfway between here and there the not feeling good returned. I was just wiped out.
So I spent most of the rest of the day relaxing. Still have the medicine head, still have the fatigue. A trip up the stairs was enough to leave ready for a break.
Sports Illustrated takes advantage of a new delivery method. The world continues to spin as only the old media are stunned by this new flexibility.
Print readers get a cover featuring LeBron James and his new teammates. But anyone who buys the iPad version will see a cover story on Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who died this week.
News of Steinbrenner’s death broke early Tuesday morning, a half-day after Sports Illustrated’s conventional issue had gone to the printers. After a relatively quick conversation, says editor Terry McDonell, the magazine staff decided to give the iPad edition a new cover, along with a story by Tom Verducci.
“We all sort of looked at other, and said, ‘you know, this is an opportunity to do this,’ and why wouldn’t we?” McDonell says.
Everyone else knew it was both an eventuality and a logical conclusion. However, the story reaches a disappointing conclusion. “Time Warner’s magazine doesn’t plan on making a habit out of it. If you want up-to-date sports news, SI doesn’t expect you to rely on the iPad.”
Swing and a miss.
Which came first? Science now says, based on a protein found in chicken ovaries, that it was the poultry. Unless it was the egg. Not unsurprisingly this creates a great debate among commenters, who do not consider the discussion closed. In fact there’s the Biblical wing, the science could do something more useful side, the “they got it wrong” angle, the epistemological and more.
The best one, though: “I resolved this issue to my own satisfaction when I realized that no egg ever laid a chicken.”
Makes perfect sense.
