Thursday news roundup
- UNC looked soft in the game against GaTech last night. Tech maybe better than they appear on paper, we were playing on the road against a team that has beat us there regularly, we always get everyone's best game of the season, and one of our key players had an off night, but at some point we are going to have to start imposing our will on other teams defensively, or our season will be shorter than expected.
- My (Miles's) cousin, Cory, landed a job at Nortel and will be moving to the area. Awesome.
- Halleigh has gotten to the age where she finally wants to play with you, not just around you.
- I will be pulling for the Chargers and the Packers this weekend, but whoever wins, I'll be pulling for the NFC in the Superbowl.
- Many of you know of our fondness for Tajikistan. We had some friends in Montana who were students in an exchange workers program and Tajikistan got a special place in our hearts. Unfortunately though, we did not know much about the country at all until I stumbled across the Global Voices blog, which is now linked in our sidebar. Global Voices is a good resource if you want to find other bloggers from specific countries. Anyway, I was blown away by this travel photo-diary which shows the beauty of the Tajiki people and landscape. Reminds me very much of Montana (see the picture above), except in MT there are fewer old guys riding donkeys or Soviet-style art. Here and here are two more interesting reads on Tajikistan, the first being a Tajiki blog and the last one having an incredible video and account of flying in central Asia.
- Brooke and I have gradually improved our pizza crust recipe, but we still need a good recipe for the sauce. Any ideas?
- I'm glad it's raining. I'm over the drought already.
- What's up with the lawsuit over the Las Vegas caucuses?

Making a sauce. Don't know. Buying a canned sauce - Trader Joe's standard marinara sauce is very good and cheap.
That picture of Tajikistan looks like Paradise Valley, Montana... the space in between Livingston and Gardner. Amazing, who knew Tajikistan was so beautiful?!?
We love pizza. Can you share your crust recipe?
