Hafer, let your Mom know that I'm thinking about her. Hopefully, everything goes well.

Butts and I are off to AC in a couple minutes for Matt's bachelor party this weekend. I'm looking forward to some golfing and poking.

Did anyone watch the premiere of The Bridge this week. I was intrigued, given its strong reviews and the fact that fx has been putting out some quality programming recently. The premise is pretty cool, but I'm not sure how it will continue (a Mexican and a US detective working together) for a multi-season story arc. I thought the Mexican detective was really good, but I'm not sold on Diane Kruger's character yet. I know they are obviously making her have high-functioning Asperger's or something similar, but I found her to be kind of annoying and I'm not sure if that was purposeful. I'll give it a couple more episodes to see how it develops. As an aside, I recently read a novel about the girls of Juarez that has won a bunch of awards (2666); however, I did not enjoy it.

Speaking of books, I have recently read The Leftovers ( http://www.amazon.com/The-Leftovers-Tom-Perrotta/dp/B0085RZGS6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373643843&sr=8-1&keywords=the+leftovers) and thought it was pretty good. Damon Lindelof is actually developing it as a series for HBO. I think that it would make for a good premise if they expanded the focus beyond one family.

I've now begun reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (http://www.amazon.com/Brief-Wondrous-Life-Oscar-Wao/dp/1594483299/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1373643971&sr=1-1&keywords=the+brief+wondrous+life+of+oscar+wao) and I'm really enjoying it. It's funny and well-written. It actually won the Pulitzer Prize.

In a surprise to nobody, Michael Carter Williams has been absolutely dreadful in summer league thus far.
