No papers blog today because there is nothing to report. So I get to talk about sports instead.

I didn’t recognise it at the time, but yesterday three of my favourite teams were playing big rivalry games, in every case on the road. The Red Sox were in New York, Liverpool in Manchester, and the ACT Brumbies in Sydney. And between them they got 2 wins, which was fairly good all things considered. Of course, all this sporting activity wasn’t excellent for my productivity yesterday, so I better work a little harder today to clear out the to-be-done list.
