Base10 is on his way to work now and it is shaping up to be a fine day. Temperatures should brush sixty degrees and the sun is shining. Why am I going into work again?

Never mind. Why complain? Even though Wednesday is the cruelest day--teasing with thoughts of the weekend while still being the middle of the workweek--the holidays are here and the weather is beautiful. Life is good.

There was no real sports action last night. Base10 knows the Islanders lost. And UNC lost to Illinois in a rematch of the NCAA basketball championship of last year.

A perusal of the football standings gave little to cheer about. The only other 2-9 teams aside from the Jets are San Francisco and Houston. Even the homeless Saints have more wins than us. Oh the humanity!

What will happen to the Saints? They will not be able to play in the Superdome next season and the league has already put together a patchwork of facilities for them similar to this year's arrangement. One cannot help but wonder whether they will try to relocate to Los Angeles.

While Base10's NFL season may be over until the draft, he still has the Rose Bowl. This should be a great weekend in college football. It's conference championship weekend and it looks great. USC plays rival UCLA and Texas plays Colorado. The 'Noles play Virginia Tech. And Georgia plays the surprising LSU. Saturday is looking fine.
