  1. I’m still a little bitter about Arizona stealing Lute from my alm mater, the University of Iowa. Took him in the dark of night, you did, saddling us with George Ravelling and a sharp drop in the graduation rate of basketball players. Plus, my Swedish wife mourned for weeks.

    “ugh,” she would wail, “why can’t you look that good in a blue blazer?”

    Now he’s 70. Serves him right.

  2. It’s also the birthday of our youngest sibling. Happy Birthday, John! And for fiction buffs, it’s the birthday of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins.
