I didn't make it...

...to a basketball game last week and probably won't make it to one this week. 

On Friday night I got shut out at Stevenson. (The parking lot in Lincolnshire resembled the one above, only more crowded.) Do I really have to arrive an hour early for an hour and a half game? Oh well, sounds like it wasn't that great of a contest anyway. The Patriots defeated Zion-Benton, 81-63.

On Saturday and Sunday night I went over to Northwestern to listen to music. (Am I losing my taste for this stuff?) And this week I'll be getting ready for my trip to Los Angeles. In the meantime, here are the Top Ten from the three news services I follow:
