Exhibit 8.6

Now that my brief period of intense college basketball fandom has come to an end, I'm afraid this blog will revert back to being mostly about Chris Sarandon and candy bars I ate.

A few notes:

*Finally had the opportunity to watch Flight of the Conchords this weekend. I don't even have words for how amazing it is.

*On a related note, we've changed the pronunciation of our dog Brett's name to "Brit." She won't even respond to "Brett" anymore so don't try. It took all weekend and a lot of Beggin' Strips but it's done.

*Also saw The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and it's pretty great if not a little too long. Still, once it hits its stride in the second half it comes together nicely, and the movie might as well have been financed by the Missouri tourism board (visitmo.com). Anyone looking for the beauty of the plains should check it out (or drive up NE Highway 2 for awhile).

*Oh, and Casey Affleck. Good.

*Things upcoming this week: maybe some stock photography, a review of a book about elevator inspectors, a Royals preview, and who knows what else. Probably something about Chris Sarandon or candy bars or both.
