joelmitre and rick,

Kobe rocks. I was never a big fan until the dude went nuts in the playoffs last year, becoming a VERY clutch player.

usahog...if you read this, look:

Just in case you didn't know. I hope March brings us to a bold wager, my friend.

I was an usher/housekeeper for Prairie Home Companion at the World Theatre in St.Paul during my high school days. I should have added that I constantly listen to public radio as another hobby. I guess I just gave myself up as a liberal living in Houston, although the University job probably already did that. Cheers.
