Night Like This

I have two clases on Monday/Wednesday. Biology for Population Health is fantastic, and I enjoy the class. I lead discussions. I get a handle on topics in a hurry, I can bring my classmates along when they have problems, and it's a great course. Biostatistics, on the other hand, makes me feel almost dumb. The material is sufficiently dense that I wind up staring almost blankly at the screen and my notes trying to get this stuff, but it doesn't engage for a day or so. Frustrating.

Cardinal football got an easy win against Murray State on Saturday. Backup players started going in midway through the second quarter. No one was really surprised; Murray got some national exposure and ESPN money, and UofL got more experience with the new coach. So far, so good, and the Cardinals are favored against Virginia this coming weekend.

My Dodgers have a slim lead on the Giants in the NL West. 19 games left in the season, including tonight against the Padres. My Bio for Population Health professor is a big St. Louis fan, and we've already made a few good-natured jabs at each other. Come October...

Had a good time with Dad on his birthday. Worked on The Niece's car a little. Went out to dinner. Just spent time together. A really good day.
