Northbound on 880 today at the Arena/Coliseum complex. Simple, understated and to the point.
I was at a UPS store this morning making copies and a guy walks in. As soon as he's foot in the door, a guy behind the counter starts giving him shit, saying this is the year for my Chargers. Customer turns out to be Raiders fan and says they're going to the superbowl. "We got Mendoza and 2 more guys from that Indiana team. Super Bowl!"
I'm wearing an IU shirt with the Mendoza "Flippin Champs" quote on it. I had a new best friend for the next 10 minutes.
Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.
