I have enjoyed sharing season tickets to the Syracuse men’s basketball games this winter. Last night their season ended. Despite a furious rally from 17 points down they closed with a loss to Clemson in the NIT quarter finals. Fortunately there are only 206 more days until Oct 15th - the 1st practice for the 2007-08 season.

I have a couple of bare spots on my driveway. Most of the snow has slid off the metal barn roof. The deck is mostly snow-free and dry. The rain gutters are gurgling with snow melting off the roof. The snow is settling on the lawn. Come on spring…….
At the 1983 NBA All-Star Game, Marvin Gaye stole the show with his singular rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” At the time, singing the anthem was for the most part a straightforward job — shoulders square, sing it straight like the hymn that it is. But for this game, Gaye took the anthem to a new level. Gaye’s one rehersal was bumpy. By this point in his life, Gaye was battling a serious drug addiction. And on game day, the singer was running perilously late. But then the lights dimmed, a syncopated beat machine was turned on and Gaye made history. One year later, Marvin Gaye was dead, shot by his own father. Thanks to NPR for the text and Youtube for the video – this is special. Marvin Gaye sings the National Anthem.
