War Eagle! 6 in a row!

The Iron Bowl took place tonight in Auburn. Final score: Auburn 17 - Alabama 10. Toomer’s Corner is probably already knee deep in TP.
This is a record — Auburn has never beaten Bama 6 years in a row before… And the rain held off so when Kevin and Marie wander in later, they’ll probably be dry - cold, but dry.
And so now I can sleep peacefully and happily.

Hailing a cab to get back to Queens immediately upon exiting the restaurant: PRICELESS
When I landed at LaGuardia on Saturday I was pleasantly surprised to find the temperature in the 50’s. Didn’t last! Yesterday Bruce Krause and I headed out to the Met -wind chill had it down in the single digits, I do believe. Picture a couple of diehard southerners in that kind of weather trying to hail a cab on 5th Avenue at 5 pm. We did finally get one, but not before my face was stinging with cold.
There’s a wonderful exhibit of Tiffany glass on thru May 20th - so the trip was worth it.
iChatAV: we have it working

I’ve recently entered the world of “video chat” - and while I never thought I’d be interested, it’s been really rather nice.
It started with my new iMac (20″, with the built in camera). Then my friend Freda was ready to get a new computer, and decided to go Mac. And my collaborator on the various FAMVIN sites finally worked out a way to get past some firewall issues with his MacBookPro, and we were off to the races… the fourth party is also a Mac person in Denver.
Details: we are using AIM accounts (I think .mac accounts would work as well); My old router had to be replaced with one that would allow the proper ports to be opened (the old one is EOL - and had no clue that this was a possibility!); Freda had to do nothing except remember her AIM password;
Yesterday we had a 3-way “conference” going for a while. And right now I’m on with the friend in NY.
Issues: Sometimes the pictures aren’t very clear - my guess is bandwidth; I need better lighting, because the current setup makes me look like a purple people eater. I have to be sure I’m semi dressed for the day when I answer a call. And, how on earth do we get this to work with the folks on PC’s?
No, I really don’t want the Terrorists to win

You are a terrorist-loving scoundrel who hates our dear leader and the values he defends. There are few redeeming qualities about you. You most likely celebrated when the evil-doers hit us on 9/11, then opposed the Iraq war when we tried to pay them back. You hurt us at every step and cause troops to die in the field by questioning Bush’s decisions. You are most likely a lost cause, doomed to be a brainwashed victim of free thought and liberalism forever. No dose of Ann Coulter’s prose can save you now.
Will you still need me? Will you still feed me?

Paul McCartney turned 64 today. Couldn’t resist humming the song.
Happy Birthday Sir Paul.
