I watched Manchester United play Liverpool yesterday afternoon with my friend Mark (seen in the snow in the photograph above), who as regular Blog readers know works at the University of Denver's Anderson Academic Commons (the library). Mark was originally going to spend the weekend up in Steamboat Springs, Colorado with his parents and brother. However, they have had so much snow lately in the Colorado mountains that it is not safe to drive up there, and he had to settle for soccer on the telly. In any case, Mark was full of information about the various soccer players, and mentioned that the ex-wife of one of these players was now dating one of the members of One Direction. Naturally I asked what One Direction was, and Mark replied that I "really do live under a rock - no offense intended." Mark then explained that One Direction was a "boy band" that is as hot as The Beatles were back in 1964. Personally, I don't believe it, since as far as I can tell, they have not yet appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. And by the way, Manchester United scored late in the game and the match ended in a 1-1 tie.
