Sad day

It's sort of a sad day all around.

Here in my local town, there might be snow, so the schools are all closed.

On the world stage, Nelson Mandela passed away.  People are rightly mourning his passing and celebrating his spirit.  He did much to help bend the arc of justice.

And in the sports world, Chris Peterson will become the next head football coach of the University of Washington Huskies.  Dammit.  He's a good guy and a good football coach.  I hope he does well there, and may all his seasons contain at least one loss every year.  Go Cougs!
