In Summary:
* An acceptable Monday, this. Got the day's main chore (my weekly laundry) all done. Though unable to find a college football game tonight, I did find a college basketball game with a live radio feed. And with an early enough start time that I should be able to listen to the whole game before my brain shuts down for the night.
