There was good news and bad news in the basketball world today. Our Lady Mocs lost in their first game to Kansas State. Not a total surprise, and it was a close game until the last minute, but we always hoped they could get at least one win in the tournament. They did have a great season, though.
Both UT teams won. The Men beat Butler in overtime, and the Lady Vols had an easy time with Oral Roberts University.
In between games, we watched last Friday's Bill Moyer's Journal that we had recorded. He talked to Phil Donahue and Ellen Spiro about their documentary film that has just been released. It's called Body of War. It's an extremely powerful story about a young man who enlisted in the Army in October 2001, to protect his country. Instead of being sent to Afghanistan to fight terrorists, he was sent to Iraq. Five days later, he was shot in the chest, and is now paralyzed from the chest down. Check out that link to learn more.
It seems like the thing to do nowadays is set up a "wedding web site". Margaret just sent the link for Matt and Amanda's. Amanda did a great job with it. If I get Margaret's permission, I'll post a link to it.
Trunks of those big southern crepe myrtle trees can make for nice abstract photographs.

I saw that Bill Moyers - just heart-rending. It just leaves me feeling so very sad that we don't treat our veterans better.
