All the Lebowski tweeters were enjoying the bowling aspect.

Imagine, a plague brought about cause someone said “f&@& it, dude, let’s go bowling.”

%%
Start spreading a cure ... it’s in there to stay.
You get to be a part of it – New York, New York.
In his bowling shoes, that doctor did stray
Right through the very heart of it, New York, New York.

Your gonna wake up, in that city without sleep.
And find you’re sick as a dog, slumped in a heap.

Those earlier flu’s, are nothing today.
Ebola’s worse —get used to it— in old New York.

If it can make it there,
It’ll make it anywhere.
It’s now with you, New York, New York.

New York, New York …

Your gonna wake up, in that city without sleep.
And find you’re sick as a dog, heaving & sh***, going downhill, Temp’s 101 + + ++

Those . earlier . flu’s ... are nothing today.
Ebola’s worse —get used to it— there in old New York…
If it can make it there, it’ll make it ... anywhere;
It’s . now . with . you – New York ... New York!

Did you see this this morning? These are Cpl. Nathan Cirillo's dogs awaiting his return. Cpl. Cirillo is the Canadian guard who was killed at the tomb of the unknown in Ottowa this week.

Doesn't that just break your heart?

Was watching things unfold on tv last night. What do you want to bet the bowling ebola doc had intimate relations with his fiance. CNN apparently reported that she is being monitored in a hospital, I wonder if that relationship will survive this? That is if they both survive.

Not only is it Friday, it’s the final Friday of the high school football regular season.

My Jayhawks are 7-1 and hosting the arch rival tonight. Winner gets second place in the conference and a home game next week in the playoffs. Loser has to hit the road.

Weather is not too bad. Should be dry and mid 50s for the start of the game.

Remember to put the hand sanitizer in a one quart ziploc bag!

Are you leaving on Monday? I’ll be going through Dulles then.
