Deal's going down (see entry below)! So sweet...

USC clobbered Hawaii, not suprising- but makes me happy. I am grateful the Trojans are on top as the Lakers rebuild. Tough to 3peat, but I am pulling for them. USC vs Tennessee- what do you think Flemings?

Bad news, my dad's cousin died of brain cancer last weekend (51). She was always nice and sunshiney. Couldn't make the funeral in SoCal, but my prayers are with my family. We actually know my dad's cousins fairly well- hung out with them when I was younger and we have a family picnic with them every year (although there has not been one in a few years).

Found even worse news if you can believe that- won't discuss it here though...
Sorry to leave you hanging, but too sad to tell.
