It’s our song!
And for all your professional pearl-clutchers (+1) out there complaining that the lyrics are lacking or incongruent with a wedding, I’m more inclined to melodies. What a lovely melody.

3 days ago • 1 noteI once met Rick Santorum. He was a very nice fellow, supremely articulate and had the most perfect handshake. It was like he practiced. We spoke about football, and I introduced him to a few assistant coaches and prospective recruits during a big recruiting weekend for the football team.
Being from Pennsylvania, i actually had a pretty positive impression of Mr. Santorum. But when i think of Rick, I will always think of his painful SEO nightmare he’s somehow navigated around (have fun with that, campaign reps), and this picture:
It’s a treasure trove, really. Every time i look, it gets better. It’s like when a pastor reads the same verse over and over again, and somehow, God finds a new way to articulate something in the repetition.

Here’s a link to the NYT’s obit on Paterno, written by the best obit writer in the biz, Richard Goldstein. You never want a piece written about you by Goldstein. The lede is superb. Tough task.
Joe Paterno, who won more games than any other major college football coach, and who became the face of Pennsylvania State University and a symbol of integrity in collegiate athletics only to be fired during the 2011 season amid a child sexual-abuse scandal that reverberated throughout the nation, died Sunday. He was 85.

It’s a very sad day for many reasons. And it’s a very strange mix of emotions, especially for Penn Staters.
Here’s a quote published in 1968 from an interview with Dan Jenkins at SI :
“We’re trying to win football games, don’t misunderstand that. But I don’t want it to ruin our lives if we lose. I don’t want us ever to become the kind of place where an 8-2 season is a tragedy. Look at that day outside. It’s clear, it’s beautiful, the leaves are turning, the land is pretty and it’s quiet. If losing a game made me miserable, I couldn’t enjoy such a day. I tell the kids who come here to play, enjoy yourselves. There’s so much besides football. Art, history, literature, politics.”

CHRISTIANS:
It’s okay to mix your faith-based books with your secular books! As cooky as it sounds, your old copy my My Utmost For His Highest will still work if it’s directly in contact with your Franzen’s.
The Medieros’ did! Be free, Stasi and John! Be Wild!
