Hello again, I've missed you LJ

So we have these regular callers at The Bee. There's a few mentally challenged individuals who'll call just to talk sports. There's Lonely Old Man, who'll call with four TVs going and read us Canadian Football League and college hockey scores. Then there's the Blind Prophet ( Read more... )

I helped cover a Sacramento Kings-New Orleans Hornets game for the Davis Enterprise on Sunday night. My cohort Mike Mirer wrote the game story and I did a sidebar on Byron Scott, the Hornets coach and a former Kings assistant.
