NCAA football bowl bids were announced this afternoon. The Cardinals are heading to Jacksonville to play a really good Mississippi State team in the curiously named TaxSlayer Bowl (yay, sponsorships). UK's making yet another trip to Nashville's Music City Bowl.

I think I've got the worst of the cold behind me. No coughing fits last night, so I was able to get some real rest for the first time in a few nights. I hit up Chicken King for a box of spicy wings yesterday, and was able to taste them, and that was a plus. In fact, once this has run its course and I have my sense of taste back, there's going to be a fried chicken bender.

I'm still taking some NyQuil before going to bed tonight. Better to be sure.

For the past couple of weeks, my bedtime reading has been Fierce Patriot, a biography of General William Tecumseh Sherman. It's a balanced look at the man, giving pages to his failures and foibles as well as his successes. Sherman is definitely a problematic figure by modern standards - no abolitionist, he fought to punish the traitors of the Confederacy, and his personal relationships would be scandals today. But, break the slavers' backs he did, and he's a damned interesting figure.
