I got to watch the vast majority of the NCAA lacrosse semifinal games on Saturday -- I used my digital video recorder. Unfortunately, thunderstorms and lightning in Philadelphia meant that my recording (even adding an extra half-hour) didn't catch most of the final period and overtime of the Johns Hopkins/Virginia game -- and that was the better of the two games. In the first game, Duke just made Maryland look horrible on their way to a blowout.

So, I'll be getting up early tomorrow morning (anything in the morning is early for me) and rooting for Johns Hopkins to finally win a national championship.
