I did not need to see that

Said twice last evening.

1. Standing in the check-out line, I looked up as my groceries slid towards the register. On the cover of the Globe (I think), there he was laid out in all his purple finery: the late James Brown. Not a fan of post-mortem pics on tabloid covers in the checkout line.

2. Duke 63, Georgia Tech 74. K's comment: "We've got to get older quick." Agreed. However, unlike the tabloid photo, we didn't turn away from the game. No summer soldiers or sunshine patriots, we.

Then up until 4 AM investigating this (for those folks who wonder what it is I do.)
