Today is another one of these days that has an unfortunate connection. I had a cousin, Joe, whose birthday was December 12th and who was 2 years and four days younger than me. Joe was a law student at the University of Minnesota and died in a car wreck leaving the University of Minnesota. This was a wintry April. He was buried in Montana during a snow storm as the story was told to me. Joe and I were the closest of cousins in age. December 12th is another of those infamy days. I'm having too many of them lately.

How about those Broncos?
