Metallica is coming to Portland. News on their new album is on the radio these days.
I am tempted to attend their concert - some of their songs are undoubtedly among the greatest rock/metal songs ever. But sitting through an entire concert of heavy metal might be a different story.

Sourav Ganguly is retiring at the end of the series against Australia. Iam glad he scored a century in the second Test. It has ensured that he ends his career on a high note. I think he is handling his retirement in a classy manner:
Just one last thing, lads

Although one cannot quite say the same about what he supposedly told a Bengal daily.

Boston Red Sox lost in the World Series. But Iam no baseball expert.

Work's busy.

I started reading two books. The first one is "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. It is about the Carnegie professor as he narrates the story of his life in the months preceding his death.

The second book I am reading is called "Winning Ugly". It is written by Brad Gilbert, Agassi's coach for many years. He helped Agassi make his way back from a low point in his career, when he had slipped in the rankings to the challenger circuit.

Two very different books for sure.
