Friday notes

Nice enough afternoon, even though the wind is up, making it feel a bit chilly.

Learned this morning that the coach of the Pakistani cricket team was murdered in the West Indies. Now, cricket is not my interest, but I do find it very sad that people take their sports affiliation to extremes. It's one of the reasons that you'll rarely hear me talk about sports in a positive sense. Nonetheless, it was shocking to hear that Bob Woolmer was apparently strangled in his hotel room in Jamaica. The Cricket World Cup, in which his country (Pakistan) took part, will be continuing, as they wish to avoid the impression to be giving in to terrorism or whatever.

I mentioned yesterday that the latest edition of CarnivAOL is out, but did not give the link. So - hurry over to Gina's blog for the latest. Next edition is due on April 3rd, and it will be hosted by Dawn in her journal Carpe Diem. Please email the complete URL of one of your own entries to princesssaurora (at) aol (dot) com. Paul, who is the keeper of CarnivAOL, would like to hear from you if you want to host a future edition of the Carnival of the Vanities. You can email him at plittle (at) aol (dot) com.

  1. How horrid, strangled over a game:(  I can understand the positive aspects of sports, usually, but this?   just horrid :(
    Oh another note, I'd forgotten that Carnivaol was being passed around!  Thanks:)  -- Robin
