It’s noon and Blog-o-rama just hung up after a surprise call from a famous Civil War battlefield, where Jim Murphy, former News 12 Connecticut reporter, is faking antiques in the basement woodshop of his Gettysburg goat farm.
Jim and his wife Judith, a college communications officer, are totally into the Lady Huskies hoops team and are justly proud of this year’s version of the squad, which actually GRADUATES players.
They watch the games on streaming video, so that’s pretty hardcore.
“Considering the way the state has taken to Maya Moore,” Murph says of the freshman All American, “affection has reached the state of idolatry. I expect a ballot proposition this fall that would change her name to ‘My Amour.’”
