Another Saturday full of kid stuff, chiefly a rather brisk soccer game-- around 45F at game time, with a stiff breeze. It was interesting to see how different kids reacted to the cold.

A college basketball game takes a bit over two hours-- 2:10 is pretty typical, what with all the timeouts and miscellaneous stoppages of play. A blowout takes a bit less, a close game a bit more (what with all the intentional fouling at the end), but it's a rare game that finishes in under two…
