...began the 2008 season by flying halfway around the world to play a team from across the country, and they won in extra innings. Now that is a dramatic story-book opening to a “title defense.”For the Harvard softball team, things were a little different. The weekend got off to a bad start when Saturday’s double header against Cornell was postponed because of bad weather, and it only got worse when the Crimson (7-14, 0-2 Ivy) dropped its first two games of the year to Princeton...

By the numbers, the surge has been a success. But I'm suspicious of statistics...
...perfectly natural until I ordered him to open the bag. Then he did become uncomfortable and at first he didn't react, so I had to insist, I made him carry the bag over to a nearby table and ordered him to open it. He then unzipped the bag halfway and opened it just slightly to let me have a peek...
