The mAss Media

These are not the Donkey Basketball pictures you've been clamoring for, but since we were busy hazing new photo Louie Traub, we had to rely on the picture-taking-stylings of Doug Barker, managing editor and big-time laugher.



And then there's this:



Isn't that just precious of lil ole Anne?



We lost, even after I went all Bobby Knight. I blame the guy in charge of the scoreboard. He's an employee of the company we were playing against (I won't even dignify them with a name.) Sadly, the forces of evil cheated their way to victory. I tried, but I just didn't feel right about dragging people off their donkeys (although I could have).



That's Anne (our soccer-mom-in training, she brought the juice and Gushers), Louie (with the tongue out, this was his first newsroom bonding experience) and Jordan (our would-be Tookie Williams).

Been a long time

I've been fuming every morning for the past month about the early Daylight Savings Time — worried that I'm not going to be able to pull off getting out of bed on time for work and resentful to Congress for not personally considering my feelings.

And then I worked the weekend so I get to really ease into it. And it so far doesn't seem so bad.

Somewhere there's a metaphor for life in there. Or possibly just my life.
