Friday Varia and Quick Hits

We’re up early at Archaeology of the Mediterranean World Headquarters watching the Australia v. New Zealand match in the Cricket T20 World Cup at breathtakingly gorgeous Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. It’s a nice break from the all the college basketballing this time of year. 

The nice thing about college basketballing and cricket is the somewhat gentlemanly pace of play leaves plenty of time for reading across the interwebs and compiling a nice little list of quick hits and varia.
