  1. My good deed for the day (I thought so, anyway): our sports reporter, a kid of about 30, was listening to some decent big band stuff in the office this morning. I talked him into throwing on some Glenn Miller and more precisely this tune. He hadn’t heard of Glenn Miller before our conversation; I shared with him how Maj. Miller died in a plane crash in December of 1944. Next thing I know, the office was jammin Glenn. I think I did OK.
