Random observations from Wine Bar

I went to the West End Wine Bar tonight to watch the UNC Tar Heels play Louisville in the Elite Eight basketball tournament in Charlotte. There was a very funny moment during the second half with about 2:48 left on the clock when the local CBS television station, WRAL, moved the picture onto a small subset of the screen to make room to display tonight’s Powerball lottery results. The boos and jeers coming from the fans at the Wine Bar must have been loud enough to wake up the guy asleep at the switch at WRAL because almost as quickly as the split screen came on, it disappeared.

 

As I watched Tyler Hansbrough score his 28 points against Louisville, I became convinced that he must know how to fly.

like this and the last entry.  Thought for a minute you had met Bill in Gastonia, NC. We are in Florida right now, but noticed Bill was to be in Gastonia.
Anyway I liked the entry.  BTW,  maybe the handshake was  weak from shaking so many hands.  Jack
