A soccer coach says he was joking. But when parents didn&#8217;t get it, Michael Kinahan resigned from a Massachusetts youth soccer league. He sent an e-mail saying &#8220;losing is for losers.&#8221; He said the team would be known as &#8220;Green Death,&#8221; and that parents should cheer instead of sitting there &#8220;sipping mocha-latte-half-caf-chinos.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[As I was listening to NPR this morning, a story came up about algebra. Now, when I was in school, I remember many of my fellow students having difficulty with algebra, but I always found it incredibly easy. I always got tripped up on the simple math: adding together two two-digit numbers to this day [...]]]></description>

So the basic story: We witness the encounter of Ray (now Peter), a man nearing 60 who has served some time but now has a mediocre management position at a very unkempt office, by Una, now around 30, a young woman we discover Ray abused when [...]]]></description>

Some were not able to make it; hors d&#8217;oeuvres were not thought through; and chairs were a bit under-planned. But everything else seemed to go very well, with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight, I went to see Grey Gardens at the Studio Theatre in DC.
So the basic story: American royalty, the family of Jackie O, has fallen from wealth, propriety, and personally hygiene. Interesting musical&#8211; a little peculiar and funny.

I would describe this production as the most beautiful failure I&#8217;ve seen in a while.
The visual qualities of the show were wonderful. [...]]]></description>

Okay. I can deal with that. So I have to decorate a bit and make sure the house is clean and all that good kind of stuff.

Tonight, Laurie was the guest on Conan. I particularly liked the knife story. Here&#8217;re the clips:
