can't make much progress.

Dad and I had fish; EJB had liver; Don had grilled cheese; Homer had burger.
There was another Filipino caretaker there with an elderly man and they were
attending a large Filipino New Year's Eve dinner.
-- 9:00p Drove Dad and Homer back to Jeri's and then went back to Don's.
Looked at Don's new PC. I tried to show him how to use microphone on IM chat
but it didn't work. Don't know why. Then we watched TV. The new ball at
Times Square did NOT live up to the hype.

Laptop was acting poorly after a reboot and dadtray.exe seemed to be
using a lot of CPU time, and CPU was mostly 100%. I Googled dadtray and
it's a Dell utility having something to do with special keyboard keys.
Webpage said something about registry could be causing problems and
there was a link to Uniblue Registry Booster and it made it sound like
there was a free 2-min scan of registry. Maybe it meant it only took
2 minutes to download.
-- 9:30p Skim Ch32 News
-- 10:38p "Saving Grace" (12/17)
So the scan has been going 2 hours and has found 100 problems so far.
It says there are 15 sections of the registry and it's still on the
first section. The time it is taking make it seem that the registry
takes up my entire hard disk! No indication if it will finish the
scan before the end of the year.

The chicken was OK, but I don't like fresh-cut Idaho fries. Conveniently,
it was a huge order of fries. There were no napkins on the table, or with
straws and forks. And it seems they neglected to give me napkins from
behind the counter, and when I was leaving there was no one behind the
counter. I don't expect to ever go there again.

I also went to Target to buy a skimask. They were out and couldn't say
when or if they'd get more. Then I went to K-Mart. They didn't have
any but they did have cheap video tapes. The woman in front of me said
everything she had was a sale but the cash register disagreed. She also
triggered the alarm at the exit. I didn't wait to see if they found
anything. Then I went to Sportsmart and it was out of business and the
same thing with Marshall's (I think they moved to Yorktown Mall). Then
I went to Dick's Sporting Goods. They had one that was twice as much as
I expected to pay, but I bought it. It feels a little too tight.

The idea was that it was sluggish because it was trying to do too much on startup.
However, now it locked up and plugging the network cable back in did not unlock it.
I tried rebooting several times and it locked up every time.
So I rebooted with network connected and I uninstalled McAfee and that
solved the problem. So now I'm without any virus or spyware checker.
(The only reason I installed it was to find spyware that I thought was
slowing down the PC, but the cure was worse than the disease.)

The performance is disappointing. It keeps shaking and skipping.
It seems that my laptop is often at 100% CPU utilization even though
nothing else is running. (And I would normally want other things to
be running.) I lowered the bitrate and color depth (or at least I thought
I did) and it doesn't seem to help. It takes about 4 secs for it to
respond to a remote control command so skimming can be tricky. And,
I'm connected through my own network. I don't know what it's going to
be like when it's at a remote location. It doesn't seem to have an
option for a smaller picture.

25 mins was on hold (It said the wait time was 10 mins).
It seems that maybe one of the dial-in numbers was not working and
at the same time the TiVo wasn't holding onto the new number I told it
to use. But it's not entire clear what fixed it but it seems to be
working now.
TiVo also failed to record "Stargate: Atlantis" today because the

The MS Access database I use to keep track of my shows has been
acting a little flaking so I've tried to recreate it by starting with
a clean file and importing the parts. But the new file is acting even

of helpless.

-- 9:30p Skim Ch32 news
-- 10:35p Seems to have "fixed" problem from help I found online.
The fix I applied would have to be done every time a copy a database.
A permanent fix requires downloading a service pack and that has a
prerequisite of downloading and installing something else. (Which might
already be installed, but how do you tell?) There are too many steps and
they seem more likely to break something else. Since I don't copy a
database very often, I guess I'll stick with the temporary fix.
And I don't know if any of this will fix the intermittent problem that
precipated this all.

actress is also a producer on a movie which was written by
Jennifer Derwingson. Both Jennifers are Stanford grads.
The show was OK. The main character was a cop who was convicted and
found innocent 12 years later. He's back on the force but he's now
into Zen. I can't decide if his personality is interesting or annoying.

that was likely. But I don't know what Dad's situation is.
Raul put Dad on the phone and went to talk to nurse. Dad seems to think he has
already gone out to lunch while being at Whitehall. Raul came back and seemed
to say it was OK if you checked with nurse.
Obviously, we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see how Dad is feeling.

lately, I and neighbors have smelled very faint skunk odor in the afternoon

usually means it's far away, but I rode my bike in all directions and it

I never been here before, unless you count the previous restaurant
that went out of business at this location. The "pockets" are freshly baked
but the contents doesn't really fit inside. It was more a salad with tuna in it.
It was expensive. If I want a salad I can get one at McD. I will probably
try their baked potatoes but I don't expect to go to this place very often.
The combination of the location and prices makes me believe it will not
likely be around long.

said I could have parked across the street. Had to wait to be seated.
I had broiled cod. Dad had crepes. Don had cheeseburger.
EJB had tuna. Roger had steak & eggs.
~~ After lunch Dad and Roger left and we went to Office Depot to look
at storage boxes for EJB. He refused to consider them, insisting that
they would take up more space in his place. He thinks the better solution
is to throw things away. (Not sure when he'll do that.)
~~ After we went back to Don's and I determined that his new screen saver
doesn't work because it requires a 32M video card and he only had 4M.
~~ Set Don up to have blog
It remains to be seen if he'll update it.
-- 5:05p Left and went to Superdawg
Normally, when I pass there I'm either heading to another restaurant or
it's late and I'm heading home. I wasn't sure if I was hungry but I
pulled in there. I don't think I've been there for at least 30 years
and I don't even think I've ever eaten there. I found the menu boards
confusing, hard to read, and the prices were hardest to read. It seemed
like it was too expensive so I left.
~~ It was hard to go anywhere except head back east on Devon, so I took Central
down to Bryn Mawr.

I also went to Circuit City, Best Buy, Frye, and Grant's. I didn't
look at any TVs. I did look at some VCRs that said they had digital
tuners but didn't make it clear if it was ASTC and QAM.
~~ No one was sure if the tuners could pick up Comcast digital signals without a
settop box. I did learn that cable will not be supplying 1080p signals.
~~ A Comcast rep happened to be at one of the stores and all he would give
me was doubletalk about how the MPAA is requiring them to supply signals
that can't be recorded and they have to go digital to prevent people
from stealing cable service. He said he's surprised I haven't already
received a letter about this.
~~ I was thinking that I'd eventually buy a VCR with a digital tuner and
maybe I wouldn't need a STB, but at Frye they were selling VCRs that had
NO tuner. It had a link for the STB but it wasn't clear to me if that
would work for me.

It had showed some problems for months. I wheeled my 19" TV from
bedroom to den so at the moment I don't have a TV in my bedroom.
I then discovered my phone answering machine seemed to have a problem.
The light wasn't on. It turned out that the low-voltage power cord
came loose on the back of the unit.
-- 5:53p Finished initial reconfiguration
The smaller TV is 6-ft closer to my recliner so the picture is effectively
a bit larger than the 27". I don't really know what to do now. I
could by another analog TV fairly cheaply because they are on the way
to being obsolete.

Received e-mail from Ch7 sort of apolgizing for my missing Skylab view.
It pointed out that it might be visible again tonight but warned of
cloud cover. The email failed to point out that it wouldn't be at the
same time.
I got a phishing email, supposedly from my previous mortgage company
asking to fill out a required form online.

I thought I saw it. It was a very bright light in the sky, but it
was supposed to move across the sky and only be visible for 5 mins but
it didn't seem to be moving and was there for at least a half-hour.
So maybe I missed it. But if there was going to be something else bright
in the sky they should have mentioned it.
-- 10:00p Went back in to see if they were mentioning it on the news.
-- 10:19p Ch7 reported on it and I must have missed it
because that bright object attracted my attention so I failed to look
anywhere else. It's possible that trees and buildings blocked my view
of Skylab. The web totally fails to make it simple to figure this
stuff out.
-- 10:24p OK. I was looking at Venus. And Saturn was also out there.
It should be visible tomorrow at 9:53 pm I think, if it isn't cloudy.

The first person couldn't figure it out and decided to forward me to sales.
They don't know why she did that and they forwarded me to a 3rd person.
I think they put on a 4th person. It finally got set up and
I tried the Sci-fi channel. I was then told that that is an additional cost.
I told them that digital is then worthless to me. They said no...
now I get On Demand, and I also get digital music channels. I told them
I was already 13 months and 700 hours behind on my normal analog recordings.
In addition, it seems the free On Demand movies are kind of worthless.
So, the time I spent connecting the box and being on the phone with them
was a big waste of time. Plus, I'll have to eventually waste time disconnecting
it and sending the device back to them. (That might not be free?)

On Jan 10, 2005, I had dinner with Dad and Hilda at a restaurant in
Miami Beach. I just used Google Maps new "Street View" feature to
look at the restaurant in the light of day because it was after dark
when we were there. But it's out of focus, so it's not worth too much.
It's better than nothing, but it's not a substitute for being there.
~~ Then I "drove" past Dania Jai-Alai. I don't think I've ever been
on that street. That's as far north as the Miami Beach photos go.
~~ Then I tried to go down Grand Ave in Coconut Grove. When I was there
the street was under construction. But the photos are black. I don't
know why. Murphy's Law?

They were offering digital cable for free for 1 year. They implied there
were NO charges. I don't know if my franchise fee will increase. They
tried to send me 2 add'l boxes for $1.99/mo each, but I managed to stop
that. I will probably put it in my kitchen and chances are that I will
barely use it.
~~ At the same time as this is going on, my laptop is booting up and I
get a message that AIM update is available. So I'm being asked if I want
it installed, but I'm still on the phone with Comcast.
~~ At the same time my cellphone rings and it's in another room so I don't
know who is calling me.
~~ At the same time, my TiVo had the Ch7 News on pause and it can't hold
the pause more than 30 mins.
-- 11:45a~ Finished with Comcast, finished AIM install, caught up on news
and then listened to vmsg on cell. It was Jeri. Called her back.

He decided the Rx was right but had the optician curve the frames a

see something but now I'll have to get used to looking down. I'm still
not convinced they're right, but I took them home.

As usual, most outside noises are in a blind spot. It took at least

moving van.

The noise is coming from pumps removing the dirty water that had
accumulated in the pool. Should the pool cover have stopped that?

New glasses were bad. There was severe distortion as I turned my head

used to. I think the invisible line needs to be moved, but I have a

way to do it wrong, I have confidence that they will do it wrong.

I finally got photos of my speeding in a school zone in
Lakewood, WA, last August. The poor photo doesn't prove anything except
that the car was there. It does NOT state what they claim my speed was.
It was a Saturday morning in the summer so I shouldn't have expected
an active school zone.

I disconnected my router to plug laptop directly into cable modem to

Repairing the IP address failed. I could have tried to reboot everything
but I decided to just reconnect the cables and the connection was restored.
Seems odd.

NOT on. I don't plan to watch this next week.
-- 9:00P Checked that "The Riches" was recording on TiVo except it
wasn't. I tried to get it to record but it wouldn't because it thought
it *was* recording. So I told it to stop recording, but it wouldn't
because it wasn't. I watched live and during commercial I switched to
another TiVo. I missed the first 3 mins but the episode is repeated
immediately. So I watched and most of the 3 mins was review of previous
episodes.

A difference between my current blog is that my current blog is mostly just a long webpage.
The new blog is more of a real blog. First, it is more public. Second, it allows comments
by the readers. It is slower to display, I think, and contains a advertisement which I cannot
control and get no benefit from. The new blog will be less detailed and be updated less
frequently.
~~ The primary reason I started it was just to see how this particular blog works.

-- 7:00P - 8:30P I just finished an extended IM session
A number of 3rd graders seem to think I'm their teacher. Although, I denied being
him, they didn't want to believe me. One of them put his 6th grade sister on and
although I told her I wasn't the teacher, I got her to talk a lot. I did some googling
in between and figured out she was from Charlestown, PA, and then I found the website
for the other Ed Jameson. www.edjameson.com
That gave me his e-mail address and I sent him an e-mail saying he probably should give
his class a lesson about not talking to strangers online.
While I was searching, I found there is an Ed Jameson Lake in Matador, TX.
-- 8:55P Got a response from the other Ed.
He said he'd read the riot act to his class tomorrow and also talk to the parents of the girl who was IM'ing me.
-- 9:30P Skimming Ch32 News
-- 10:00P - 10:30P The kid contacted me again.
It seems that the 3rd grader was using his sister's screen name while
she was at a party. It seems that he thought that if he pretended to be his sister
that the teacher would be more honest with her and admit he was just joking with her
brother. I find it hard to believe that a 3rd grader was able to have such
a conversation. When I informed them that I had informed their teacher of
our conversation they freaked.

When fully charged all LEDs are on. Supposedly, while sitting on the

every couple of days I should see 4 LEDs, then 3, then 2 then 1. But
generally, it shows 5 and then one day it drops down to 1. Now 3 LEDs,
1-3-5 light up and flash. I googled to find out what that means and found
a huge thread discussing problems with Dell batteries and no sympathy
from the company. It seems that selling bad replacement batteries is a
secondary business for Dell. There seems some evidence, although it's
not clear, that the battery and/or computer figure out how much it's been
used and even if the battery is good it will refuse to work. (People have
disassembled batteries and determined they have power even though the
computer refuses to work.) It seems I've been lucky so far but maybe my
luck may be running out.

just sandwiches versus the combo (fries + drink). The beef sandwich is 4 cents more than
the gyros sandwich but the combo is 20 cents more. I asked the manager and he said
the Italian beef cost more, but he verified it was the same sandwich. He said the company
(not he) sets the price. I suggested it could be a mistake. He said that was NOT possible!

Roosevelt or Ogden. I went to Ogden last week so I went to Roosevelt.
When I got there I discovered their power was out! If I wanted to go to
the one on Ogden I would have to go all the way back to my house.
I decided to see if the new Brandy's was open yet. It is.
I had rotisserie chicken and they also have baked potatoes.
I was going to go to the Jewel next to the Boston Market but after I

While looking for coax in suitcase, I discovered that the TiVo power cord
was in there. (I had just determined online last night that a replacement
cord could be obtained at Radio Shack, but now that's not necessary.)
Configured TiVos so I could control each independently. (Both TiVos
still have a yellow LED that blinks on both when you press the remote,
so it's a little difficult to be absolutely sure you are controlling *ONLY*
the TiVo you want.

"Je", Jeremy, got married on the show 1 yr ago. Matt & Barb Bratz
were married on the show in 2000 and photo of their kids, Jenna
and Justin are shown. Mark & Jennifer Rivard were married on the
show in 2003. Clint Black and his wife, Lisa Hartman, sing on today's show.
Lisa played Jennie in 1984 remake of "Where the Boys Are". The character
names are different, so there was no one name Jennie in the original. In
the remake, one of the 4 coeds is named Laurie Jameson.

Not sure if I like new VCR features or lack thereof. When tape is paused it seems
that you cannot advance one frame. The remote says "step", but it seems that's only
for the DVD. Also, when I turn it on, I also have to press the TV/VCR button. The
tape counter is at the bottom of the screen, so closed captioning hides the counter.
Why is it that NO ONE seems to know how to build a VCR correctly?

They didn't have waffles. After Maisie and I ordered them, the manager
came over and said they were cleaning the griddle. We substituted eggs
but they brought over a whole Grand Slam (eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes,
hash browns). We gave back one stack of pancakes and one order of sausage.
(They'll probably throw them out.) Although what they thought we ordered
was a lot more expensive they decided to only charge us for the original
order.

I've never been to a Miami Subs but it was a combined restuarant.
I don't think I've ever seen one that had 4 brands in one place.
It had Kenny Rogers Roasters Express and Arthur Treacher's. I haven't
been to Treacher's for a long time. Although I had fish last night, Dad
wanted fish and we split a basket. I don't remember what the "chips" were
like in Chicago, but when you have a joined restaurant the fries don't always
match the brand of the entree. These fries were NOT very good. They also
have Nathan's hot dogs. I don't think I've ever had one so I got one.
Lots of Chicagoans and New Yorkers argue about Vienna versus Nathan's.
I think the Nathan's was good, although the bun wasn't. I only ate the
hot dog.

I had mahi. Dad had chopped steak.
The waiter asked if he wanted his baked potato loaded. Dad said yes,
but he says he thought that meant sour cream. It had that plus cheese
and bacon bits. And he had cheese on his Caesar salad. And he ordered
root beer. When he ordered his 3rd refill, I stopped him and he ordered
a diet coke. He poured ice from previous glass into the 2nd and 3rd glasses
and he started visibly shivering.

so they can't yet confirm receipt. But she assured me that cashing the
check doe NOT create a contract. And she informed me that the check
covered vanity and carpet padding replacement but it does NOT yet cover
the water remediation. They were waiting on that until seeing the bill
from the carpet guy, So we can expect another check.
-- 3:00P Went to bank to deposit the first check.
Teller says the account says they lost contact with Dad. But an executive
said the account was fine. And then there was a question of how to endorse the
check since it had mom's name included (because the insurance policy has
her name on it.) But it got straightened out. And they do NOT see an automatic
deduction from health insurance company, so there shouldn't be an overdraft.
While talking to the executive I briefly asked if there was a possibility
of doing anything about the overdraft charges and she sort of rolled her eyes.
(I would have talked to the other guy -- he recognized us when we walked in --
but he was on the phone.)
-- 3:25P Returned and hoped we didn't miss physical therapist.

BP was high and she said he should have had meds earlier but I said he
just got up. So she wants him to get up earlier. The machine has a huge

This restaurant was picked because it was around the corner from
theater where 7 pm music appreciation (classical concert) was.
Waited outside with cold wind blowing sprinkler water on us.
-- 6:30P Got seated.
-- 7:20P Got served.
Dad and I shared Corned Beef platter. Menu said sharing of complete
dinners had a $5 charge. That would include soup, dessert and beverage
for both. But what if neither wants soup or dessert. *AND* the platter
we ordered wasn't under the "complete dinner" category. But the waitress
insisted we had to be charged. Seems like a big scam. If it was up to
me, Dad and his friends should *NEVER* go to this restaurant again!
-- 8:20P Left restaurant. I told the owner that the only reason we came
here was because they wanted to attend the concert around the corner.

The George was NOT George Levitt. He is the mailman and it was his
cellphone. He was a little paranoid, worried I might be a bill collector,
but I identified myself and it was quickly resolved. He gave me instructions
to pick up mail on the north side of Atlantic, east of Powerline.

They're only open until 6 pm. We had marked which ones Dad didn't
need filled, but then he decided to have them all filled. We'll pick
them up tomorrow so Dad will be missing tonight's doses for anything
he doesn't have at home. (He missed 2 doses of the t.i.d. one.)

-- 12:31A I saw a commercial for Comcast and called the number. There
was an automated help menu. I had been turning the cable modem on and off
from a button on the top. (I don't think my modem has such a button.)
It doesn't turn it on and off. It toggles standby mode. The automated
message suggested that rebooting the modem might help. I tried that it
that worked. Yay!!!
-- 12:35A I was going to start watching "The Apprentice" and saw that
there is a Jenn. I downloaded all the profiles but decided it's

The direct keypad doesn't work. I had to use arrow keys.
-- 9:00A "Regis & Kelly"; Programming additional shows.
-- 9:55A Listened to all of Dad' phone messages. Machine was full.
Machine is bad because if you keep it paused for more than 5 seconds
(the instructions say 10 secs but it seemed faster than that) it rewinds
all the way to the beginning. How are people smart enough to design a
machine but sooooo stupid about the functions. I was trying to listen
during commercials and wanted to pause from a long time. There is also
no counter. There are beeps but they seem NOT to count messages.
-- 10:00A Verified that "Ellen" was taping.
The show actually starts 1 min late, so I was scared for a min.
-- 10:03A Tried to call Dad but phone was busy.

-- 11:00P - 11:35P Attemped to use Dad's computer.
I do not know how to use wireless mouse. Maybe it's because I don't know
how to use an optical mouse. Does it need a special pad? I don't see one
around. The cursor jumps all over the place or doesn't move at all.
I found a regular mouse and plugged it in but it didn't work. I don't know
how to disable the wireless mouse to prevent a conflict.
Then I tried to plug my laptop into his broadband connection but the
connection would not work. I clicked "repair" but that didn't help.
Rebooting didn't help.
We both use Comcast. At least I found a long telephone cord I can use for
dial-up. Obviously, my blog is going to suffer.

I didn't even try to follow the robbery plot. It's probably not worth watching,
but I'll probably give it another chance.
-- 8:33P "In Case of Emergency"
I thought "Knights" was bad but this might be worse. I assumed I'd continue to
watch "Knights" because I thought this would be better, so I'd watch the
whole hour, but the opposite is true, so I'm probably not even going to
give either a 2nd chance.
This is the 2nd show I saw today (the other being "Big Day")

Free X-ray on anniversary of root canal. I was brought into exam room almost
immediately. Described pain I've had at times over the year but he couldn't
find any problem.
-- 10:55A Leaving, 5 mins before appointment was scheduled for.
-- 11:20A Arrived in downtown Winfield and went into an Italian restaurant.
They have completely separate smoking and nonsmoking sections,
however, the nonsmoking section was closed because they were short-staffed.
He would divide up the smoking section, and there was no one other
customers anyway but the room smelled too smoky and I left.
I originally planned to go to John's Buffet anyway, which was a block
away but when I was heading there, there was a "no left turn" sign. Now
I was on the right side of the street and went in there. There was only
one customer and he was smoking and I was seated all the way on the other
side of the restaurant, but I could still smell smoke. But I stayed.
It is called a "buffet", but the waiter explained that that was
an old-fashioned word for restaurant. They have never had a buffet.
I had tilapia and I brought my laptop to watch a show:

-- 3:25P Received mail early (didn't get any yesterday).
Received new payment coupons for Gingerbrook monthly assessments
(which have gone up). Prepared payment for Jan & Feb and got it to
letter carrier before she got away.
I normally sent 2 mo at a time but I meant to pay Nov & Dec before
Nov 1. Somehow I forgot and didn't pay until Nov 21. I'm supposed to
pay a $25 late fee, however, for years I have paid every other month a
full month early, so I think I deserve to be forgiven. By sending
Jan & Feb in now, I hope to reinforce that point without explicitly
saying anything. However, a possibly distorted accounting system might
apply the extra month's payment as payment of the $25 plus a partial
payment of the next month. In that case, I would be considered late on
subsequent payments because they'd be short that $25. I suppose it
will all depend on if a human looks at the account.
Then I called my health insurance company. I should have received
bill for January premium by now. They confirmed that the bills have
NOT gone out yet. I asked if I should wait until I receive it but they
said they could NOT advise that. Also, their address had changed, but
I threw out the notice. It did NOT say the name of the company. It
had the name of the parent company, and I thought it was junk mail since
I've never heard of the parent company.

wrong, you can ask a panel of 3 to help you, or you pick a person and
asks for answers to be narrowed to 3 possibilities. Each help can be
used only once. He incorrectly id's Mr Moviephone.
In the 2nd round, one of the strangers is not a stranger. She's
Eve Plumb who played Jan Brady on "The Brady Bunch". But she has
another identity besides being a TV actress. Contestant incorectly
id's her as Academy Award winner. Eve's other id is painter.
The Oscar winner was for best makeup.
I do NOT plan to watch the show again but I think it has some
potential to be successful. The critics hated it.

Nora (Sally Field) and her brother Saul (Ron Rifkin) are technically
Jewish. He is more religious. She says she's a secular humanist.
Nora's late husband was not Jewish and they celebrated only
Christmas. Her daughter, Sarah, married a non-Jewish man.
Their daughter, Paige, is about 8 or 9 and made a Christmas
ornament at school with a Star of David. She says a Jewish
classmate said if your mother is Jewish then you are Jewish. Paige
does the math and figures she's Jewish.
We know that Paige was recently diagnosed with diabetes and
she reports that she's been praying to be cured. Since the prayers
haven't worked, she worries that she hasn't been Jewish enough.
So they have a Hanukkah celebration, and Saul has her light the
menorah as he says the blessing. He says "ha Shem" but the
caption says "Adonai".

is Family Christian Store. Not very exciting. Even less so because
it's just relocated from next to the Old Country Buffet on Roosevelt.
Also, I just saw signage at the new Promenade that is being built
on SW corner of Butterfield & Meyers. It said Jos A. Banks. There
are lots of new banks but Banks sells men's suits and is also
relocating from Yorktown Convenience Center.

PJ is a sportswriter for "Chicago Sun-Times". She hangs out
with 3 guys. A 4th guy is brought in. He's a sportswriter for
"Tribune". The show wants to be a new variation of
"Sex and the City" with a twist. Her best girlfriend is a a
journalism school classmate. Another guy is PJ's brother.
"TV Guide" liked the show but I think it drags. There are too
many baseball analogies. It's an OK gimmick at the beginning
but I would think they'd drop it if they're smart enough.

Half the doctors graduated in the lower-half of their class.-- 3:00P I noticed that my TiVo was recording. I looked to see what
it was recording and it was "60 Mins". However, it was actually a
football halfgame show. I checked and "60 Mins" is still scheduled
for 6 pm, but TiVo was going to skip recording it since it "thought"
that it recorded it at 3 pm.
