The good old Ekstraklasa season started last weekend. It's peculiar that the fans usually
complain about the level of play but still can't wait for the inauguration of the new season. To be

As some of you know, I was holed up in my apartment this winter for a few weeks working on a
book. I was referencing it on Twitter and Facebook, but kept it off the blog except for an allusion
to "an exciting work opportunity" shortly after I began work on it.
Well, I'm proud to announce that it will soon be out, and is available for pre-order from
Whitman Books.

Sounds ominous, I now ... but I'm just talking about the beginning of the end of the month,
here. It's been a frozen, snowy January - in fact I can't remember the last time I saw bare

Russ Feingold is going to be introducing a proposed amendment to the US Constitution that will
require special elections to fill vacated Senate seats. Some states already do this by State
law - and Feingold's amendment would require all to do so. He states: "The controversies
surrounding some of the recent gubernatorial appointments to vacant Senate [.

Shed A Little Light by James Taylor. The harmonies in the intro still give me chills.
Freedom Highway by The Staple Singers, Dr. King's favorite group. I was originally looking for
Long Walk To D.C., but came across this.
Here's some more Staple Singers, a killer version of Buffalo Springfield's For What It's

And he did. Again.
Watching Pete Seeger, who turns 90 in May, I had to wonder if, as he stared out over the huge
crowd, he was thinking about everything he went through the blacklisting, the civil rights and
anti-war movements, the years in the wilderness and realizing it was all worth it to be alive at
this very moment.

There's a local public television show called Check, Please. The premise is simple: take three
people from different walks of life, have each one recommend a favorite restaurant. They eat at all
three, and then get together on camera to talk about their experiences.

First off - thanks to Alice and Stephen for the compelling discussion of Obama's choice of Rick
Warren for his inauguration. Time will tell, I suppose, whether Obama is backing away from
promises or working toward an inclusiveness that is, at the moment, feeling disheartening and
frightening. After the hope-to-disappointment trajectory of the Clinton years, [.
