Favre


So it is done. The local media followed his SUV from the airport to Vikings HQ via helicopter like he was O.J. Simpson on the run. This is going to be a crazy year. And Zigi Wilf got his immediate payoff; 2000 season tickets sold in 3 hours last night.

Personally, I'm not convinced that he has much left in the tank. However, a used BMW is still probably better than a new Fiat, so why not.

Sadness

Today, the wife of a colleague and friend of mine lost her long battle with cancer. She was younger than me, and it is the second death in a couple of weeks of someone close to my age who had been a dinner guest at our house.

I don't need any more reminders that life is short. Please stop.
