The only one I remember giving them a break was Mark May, who kept pointing out that, although a lot of their victories were skin-of-the-teeth ugly, they always found a way to win.William Lusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928946919078483848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712012.post-1168389026070134302007-01-09T19:30:00.000-05:002007-01-09T19:30:00.000-05:00Hindsight is 20/20 but now I'm amazed at how light...Hindsight is 20/20 but now I'm amazed at how lightly I seemed to take the Gators.

U...Paris and Brittney deserve each other's company. Ugh.<BR/><BR/>Sorry about the window- a few years ago someone broke into my car during the day (I stupidly left the door unlocked.) Always one to learn a lesson from my wrongdoings, I locked it when I got home from work that night. <BR/>I guess they thought that they missed something the first time because at 4am I couldn't sleep and looked out the window to see the dome light on in the car. I walked outside; the door was ajar and there was glass everywhere. I should have left it unlocked because that cost me $150 to fix and it was JANUARY in New York. Not fun driving around with no window in <I>that</I>. <BR/><BR/>There's nothing you can do except hope that karma will exact revenge if you believe in such a thing.

She is the reason I keep my little girl in ballet instead of jazz class, and that I will be pulling her out all together in favor of competitive swimming in a year or two. I think she has a good heart. I think she has a messed up head. I think the same of Anna Nicole Smith. If they could ever get free of their celebrity they might do alright. But I'm not counting on it.<BR/><BR/>I made TONS of resolutions. I'm hoping to keep a few of them! ; )Elena LaVictoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18108910015959872763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712012.post-1167999826754858972007-01-05T07:23:00.000-05:002007-01-05T07:23:00.000-05:00Ah yes...speaking of distinctive voices. Not just ...Ah yes...speaking of distinctive voices. Not just Culbreath but also you Mr.Luse. And you have the added benefit of being right in pointing out my u-turn on USC ('they suck!' after UCLA; 'they rule!' after the Michigan win). Memory like an elephant yours. Guess we'll just have to see what happens on Monday. <BR/><BR/>Pelosi is the first WOMAN speaker? I hadn't heard. <BR/><BR/>Of windows smashed - I'll never forget when I got my car broken into just for the "sin" of having<BR/>a black White Sox cap in the back window. I guess black hats were popular back in the '90s and so I lost mine as well as a window. The car was sitting right next to a police station too. Go figure.<BR/><BR/>The only resolution I've made in the past couple decades was made in '01 or '02, and it was to drink more beer. Not sure if I kept it as I lost track.TShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118362963139092279noreply@blogger.com
