Sabres and Medals and the Peace Corps

had fun seeing Monica Wright close out her regular season UVA career in style with the UVA Women's Basketball team yesterday, against the Hokies no less. Best of luck to the Hoos in the Tournament, and of course, good luck to Monica in her WNBA career!

another tough loss for the UVA men's b'ball squad, obviously. At least the baseball and lacrosse teams are off to strong starts :) My friend Kris (among others) does a great job over at The Sabre to keep you up-to-date on all things related to Cavalier sports...

well, after a brilliant hockey game yesterday (even though the U.S. lost- what an effort!), the Winter Olympics are over. I found a great recap of the 2 weeks of highs and lows online and it's here if you care to share some post-Olympic fever.

and, i just discovered today is the anniversary of the founding of the Peace Corps.

Today in 1961, the Peace Corps was established by an executive order signed by President John F. Kennedy. Nearly 200-thousand people have joined the Peace Corps, serving in 139 countries.
