Latest basketball update
Since my last update, LCA is actually 2-2, but what's more interesting is how we got to that record. First, we lost by 10 to the team right above us in league standings, Landmark. (We're in second-to-last place.) Then we beat the worst team in the league, Berwick, by 28 on Monday. Our second game of the week was last night, where we blew a late lead to a middle of the pack Portsmouth Abbey, losing 51-49. We had two opportunities to tie or take in the lead in that game in the last 30 seconds. Then tonight, to top it all off, we beat the second best team in the league, Bancroft, 73-70. What an up and down season! Unfortunately, the guys maybe just saw tonight was they can do as a team. With only four games left in the season, there's not much recovering that can be done in standings, but at least we could end on a good note.
In other news, I'm rediscovering Pandora. My roomate my sophomore year in college, Shawn Cowley, introduced me to this Internet radio service but I never really tried it out. Now I have and I'm using it all of the time. Basically, you create "stations" by giving Pandora different genres, bands or songs, and it makes a stations for each one you enter. It then plays songs of a similar nature to your entry. For example, let's say I like the 70s band, Journey. I insert Journey and Pandora plays Journey's songs as well as songs from similar bands like The Eagles and Boston. The feature I like the most is the quick mix which allows you to pick an assorted collection of your stations and it plays songs from each station. I'm getting to listen to a lot of good music this way. If only Draper didn't block this site during the work day--seriously, I'd be so much more productive. :)
