Random Thoughts 3/31/10

• I'm playing basketball at Wallula Christian Church on Wednesday nights at 8pm. It's mostly for adults (read: slow, old guys) but we'd love to have more people playing with us.
• Jayhawk Cole Aldrich is going Pro a year early. That's as expected. Basketball bench-warmer Conner Teahan is trying out for the football team. That's not as expected.
  
• "24" is getting canceled. Unfortunately, "Chuck" is probably right behind it. Go figure that after 10 years and 20 seasons, "Survivor" is going strong in the ratings.
• Aldrich is joined by at least three other Big12 underclassmen in the NBA draft: James Anderson, OK State; Craig Brackins, Iowa State; and Tommy Mason-Griffin, Oklahoma. Players who haven't hired an agent have until May 8 to withdraw. The draft is June 24. Follow the growing list here.
  
• "Deadliest Catch" is back on in April.
  
• We took the boys to the zoo in Omaha thanks to an anonymous gift giver. That was really nice!
  
• Pew Research created a word cloud that shows the responses when Americans were polled on: "One word that best describes your impression of Congress."
