Miscellaneous

* My hometown has been iced in this week – the whole town w/o power. I’ve heard it is the most beautiful destruction you’ve ever seen.

* Our most infamous Pepperdine Law alum, Mr. Blagojevich, would not go down w/o a fight. But going down he is.

* L.A. has 4.5 million people. Now, a lady out here goes and has octuplets. Our population is multiplying at 8x the normal rate.

* The International Justice Mission is a cool outfit, and I heard an IJM speaker twice this week. I thought I was up on all the good justice passages from the Old Testament, but I had never noticed Psalm 10 or Isaiah 59 until he used them.

* My man Pujols wants Manny Ramirez in St. Louis, but sounds like the Cardinal brass doesn’t agree. I think Manny would be fun in St. Louis. Then again, Manny is fun anywhere.

* The basketball Hogs finally got an SEC win last night. I caught parts of the game – looked like Mr. Clarke was the man.

* Volleyball action on tap tonight: Pepperdine Waves vs. USC Trojans in some of the best volleyball in the world.

* It is Friday.
