Our fantasy football team is in trouble.......both of our QBs, Kurt Warner and Vinnie Testaverde, went down yesterday.....they've been screwing us over every week anyway so its not a huge loss, but we're currently working on some deals.....we're probably going to lose again this week, unless Shannon Sharpe catches 3 TDs against the Ravens tonight and Jason Elam kicks 10 field goals........we weren't helped by the fact that I started Jimmy Smith (1 catch for 10 yards even though the Jags blew out the Jets) over Jerry Rice (144 receiving yards and a TD)......
It's Night Desk Appreciation Night at the Collegian tonight, all the writers are invited to the news room to partake in some ice cream and give the night editors their props........its about time I got some respect for the fantastic job I've been doing lately... How did the Giants lose to the Cardinals yesterday? Is this the same team that whipped the Rams? I'm just glad I didn't have to witness that shit on TV, we had the thrilling Bengals/Bucs showdown instead.....the football selection on Central Pa. television really sucks, but luckily we got to see yet another Steelers game! Sunday, September 29, 2002
Well the magic finally came to an end today as Penn State lost to Iowa, 42-35 in overtime. This was a weird game......the No. 12 Nittany Lions were down 23-0 initially...they just looked like crap from the get-go, couldn't establish anything on offense or defense, it just seemed like the Hawkeyes had our number. A shitty game, it gave me flashbacks of the Rashard Casey era of the past two seasons. Let's see, we had Zack Mills overthrowing/underthrowing receivers all day (yet still finished the day with 399 passing yards, setting a new Penn State record!), the secondary giving continually up big plays, especially on third down, we even had an extra point blocked and returned 99 yards for a two-pointer by Iowa.....and that wasn't even the whole story.
I, like an asshole, left with about 10 minutes remaining, PSU had actually come back to score, but they were still down by 22 points in the fourth quarter when I left. As I made the journey back home with my roommate Matt we could hear some cheering going on at the stadium, I figured they had maybe scored a TD, but who cares........then, a little later, we hear more cheering, and we're like, ok, what the heck is goin on here?.....then people around us start running back to their dorms/apartments and yelling, other folks are calling their friends on cell phones to see what is goin on.......me and Matt race to Jen's dorm and see that PSU has scored twice and they're driving again........then it's a Bryant Johnson touchdown and THE GAME IS TIED!!!! I'm like "ahhhhhh what the hell is goin on how am I missing this I'm so stupid we are actually tying this game ahhhhh," etc. It was nuts. But anyway, it goes to overtime, of course with NCAA OT rules they start on the 25 yard line, they go in for a score, then PSU gets the ball with one chance to score......they get a shit call, the officials rule Tony Johnson's catch along the sidelines is out of bounds, which makes it fourth down......Zack tries a screen pass to Larry Johnson that goes nowhere, game over. It was pretty ridiculous, no way we should have even been in that game, I'm also kicking myself for leaving before its over because I usually dont do that, even though it was a 22-point deficit........still, pretty crazy comeback, and then to lose it in OT, a heartbreaker for sure.... Other weirdness about the game.....JoePa was apparently pretty pissed about something at the end of the game, probably Tony Johnson's non-catch, because after it was over he sprinted the length of the field and grabbed an official by the back of the shirt to spin him around and yell at him, it was pretty funny........also, my man LaVar Arrington was apparently ejected from the sidelines, it seems that the PSU alum was yelling at the officials also. Pretty crazy. Oh well, lets just hope they get their heads on straight because theyve got some tough contests coming up, two road games against Wisconsin and Michigan, and then after homecoming vs. Northwestern they go back on the road to Ohio State, we'll find out if this team is for real or they're just messin with us. In other news, I had to go see this play called Quilters with Jen tonight, it was for our Theater 100 class....$8.50 to see this play/musical with an all-female cast set in the 1800s, and it was about quilts.......yeah, tell me about it. But anyway, I guess it could have been worse.....well, maybe not, but they were pretty talented at least, it wasnt some shoddy operation, it seemed like a real theater experience. Man I'm so cultured. Just a heads up for all the partiers out there: don't fall asleep in a trash bin. Friday, September 27, 2002
***CONCERT REVIEW***
Who: Shadows Fall, Six Feet Under, Hatebreed When: Sept. 26, 2002 Where: The Crowbar, State College PA Attendees: Me, Bill For some reason I almost passed up going to this show. I guess because it was on a Wednesday night when I certainly had other things I could be doing, plus I didn't really have anyone to go with. But I did get hooked up with a free ticket (thanks to my man Lord Lyons - I was on my first guest list!) and it was a pretty cool lineup, never saw two of the bands and only saw Hatebreed on the second stage at Ozzfest a few years back, soooo I decided to check it out, and I'm glad I did. I also met up with my friend Bill who wasn't there with anyone either, so that was cool. Anyway, we missed the opener, Death Threat, but we got right up front just in time to see Shadows Fall .......they were awesome, if you don't know they are sort of a cross between European-style metal (say In Flames with a touch of Iron Maiden even) and more traditional hardcore, supposedly the "next biggest thing" in metal....whatever you want to call it, theyre pretty damn good. They've got a new cd called The Art of Balance, I highly recommend you pick that up. Anyway the vocalist Brian Fair has these awesome dreadlocks down past his ass, you should see this dude.....but I gotta say they put on a good show, not bad for some young guys, keep your eye on them. Next up was Six Feet Under, a more traditional, straight-up death metal band, pretty gory lyrics, Chris Barnes also sports some long-ass dreads, not to mention one of the deepest growls I've ever heard......but they were pretty solid though, I enjoyed them more than I thought I would, even though their songs kinda get tired after a while both on cd and live. Still I give them a thumbs up, pretty damn heavy. Finally, Hatebreed. I knew this was gonna be awesome and they didn't disappoint. First let me say that the line was around the block to get in to see these guys (well, also because they have retards at the door), but I liken these guys to an early-80s Metallica as far as the underground fan support they have, people are really into this band, and with good reason. The show was intense from the start, they just explode into each song, Jamey Jasta was goin nuts, and so was the crowd. I was gettin squashed up front for a while because the place was packed. But they put on a hell of a show, I think they stuffed about 100 songs into their set since they're so short, plus theres no B.S. in between....they played pretty much everything from their two major label albums, plus some real old stuff, they even through in a snippet of Slayer's Raining Blood. All in all, pretty damn good show. Metal is alive and well in State College, cant wait for the SOULFLY show coming up at the Crowbar in a few weeks and the Meshuggah/TOOL concert at the Bryce Jordan Center Nov. 1. Sweet. Speaking of metal in state college, I just got done with my show a little while ago, I've had alot of fun so far being on earlier than last year (12 - 1:30 am Thursdays!) and I've had some great guests on my show (thanks to all who visit) buuuuuut I just don't feel like I'm reaching my target audience, I know alot of the Hatebreed kids are just high schoolers who came from shit towns near here, but I still think theres a "metal scene" on and around this campus, I always see people with the random In Flames/Iced Earth/Sepultura/Slayer/Ozzy shirt walkin around.....I'm just saying I want to reach as many people as possible, thats why I'm starting a multi-media campaign to get the word out about The Metal Machine. I wanna ask you all to please spread the word, if you know anybody interested in loud rock, direct them to www.lion-radio.com or tell them to tune their radio dials to 90.7 Monday through Thursday (especially Thursday!) from 12 to 3 a.m. Together, we can make a difference. In other news, I finally got my grant check from the Collegian..........sweeeeet! Still, its pretty measly considering the amount of hours I work a week, it averages out to like 80 cents an hour. But I'll take it. Big football game Saturday, No. 12 Penn State vs. Iowa in their Big Ten opener..........Hawkeyes have beat us 3 of the last 4 years so it should be a tough one, but good news, No. 4 Florida State lost earlier tonight to Louisville in an upset, that may mean we can jump into the top ten with a win over Iowa. At the very least, Bobby Bowden will remain behind JoePa on the all-time winningest coaches list. Anyway, GO STATE BEAT HAWKEYES!!!!!!!! Sunday, September 22, 2002
Another great weekend here in Happy Valley....
Mike was up here for the weekend and we had a swell time. First, he dropped by the Madman's radio show on Thursday to play some acoustic guitar tunes and share his unique blend of humor (in the guise of Johnny Blade, of course) The Rick, Fink, and the Carnivore were also my special guests, we lasted until 3 am and I have to say it was a great show, thanks to all those guys for showing up. On Friday Mike attended my Theater class with me, he got to experience a true PSU class......later that night we went with Jen on a short tour of PSU, we hit up the creamery and took some Lion Shrine pics (They'll be posted soon, along with some other humorous photographs)..... Then yesterday was the big PSU game against Louisiana Tech........it was pretty swell, we crushed them 49-17, Larry Johnson rushed for three touchdowns and so did Michael Robinson (boy that kid's amazing, check out my story on him from last year, I knew he'd be good but not this good)......overall another great game, even though La. Tech's QB Luke McCown, a Heisman Trophy canidate, ripped us for about 400 yards we were able to shut him down when it counted.....the Lions jumped to No. 12 in the Coaches' and AP polls, next week is Iowa, lets keep the magic going...... Last night we hit up Paul's 21st birthday party, it was a pretty cool......also chilled with The Rick and his roomies, fun times... Today, though, was the highlight of the weekend.....actually the highlight of my Penn State career..... WE MET JOE PATERNO!!!!!!!!! That's right, the legendary Penn State head coach and the all-time winningest coach in NCAA Div. 1-A history............we took Mike over to see his house this morning, then on our way back we were stopped at a stop sign, and who should we see but JoePa himself walking toward us on the sidewalk dressed in a suit and tie.......I was like "oh shit that's JoePa!!", I was tempted to grab a camera and take a picture but I figured it'd be rude, he was probably heading home from church or something, so instead I decided to yell out "Hey coach how you doing??" and he smiled and goes "Hi how are you?", Jen was waving to him, man it was so awesome.........then I was like "Congratulations!" (on the big win) and he says "Thank you!" It was just so cool. After that we headed up to Bloomsburg University to drop in on Matt and Al, they took Jen and I on a little tour of the campus....after that we drove to the Powerhouse Eatery somewhere on Route 80, where we met up with the Zak family for a nice dinner. All in all, it was a pretty damn good weekend. I wanna spend special shout outs to a few people who celebrated birthdays this weekend: Paul, Mr. Edward Slavin, and Ms. Meghan Greene, hope they all were most excellent. To top it off, the Giants won again this weekend, they edged the Seahawks 9-6.......not too much offense in this one except for three Matt Bryant field goals (dude is pretty good) but hey a win is a win.....me and Mike analyzed the schedule and they could easily go 11-5 this year and have a decent shot at winning the NFC East, things are looking up.

Nooch countdown: about 14 hours
The pics from our big Nebraska weekend are posted on Jen's site, please check them out here.....click on PICS and then the NEBRASKA link....they came out great. I just wanna give a big shoutout to my friend the garbage man for wakin me up at 8 am today, earlier than usual......this fella usually likes to come around 8:30 every morning to empty the dumpsters directly outside my building, he lets me know he's here by using his warning beeps as he backs up, and then he dumps thousands and thousands of glass bottles into his truck, I just wanna tell him how much I appreciate the wake up call, if it wasn't for him I might still be sleeping. Asshole. Don't forget the radio show tonight, special extended hours, 12 midnight to ??? and I've got a special guest, guitar virtuoso and world-reknowned funnyman Johnny Blade, he'll be playin some acoustic numbers live on the air and sharing his special blend of humor......please join us, won't you? Wednesday, September 18, 2002
The other day I saw some dude walking around campus with a Danny Kanell T-shirt. That's right, Danny Kanell, former QB of the NY Giants.......it had "KANELL" across the top in big bold letters and a big cartoonish action shot of Danny attempting a pass. It was definitely something out of bizarro world..... If you're interested, here are the career NFL stats for Mr. Kanell (he's currently the signal-caller for the NY Dragons of the Arena Football League):
G......Comp......Att......PCT......YD......Y/A......TD......INT 38.....438.........854.....51.3....4687....5.5.......29......29 Yesterday I came to the realization that pretty much all philosophy students have to fall under a few criteria: 1. Have excessive facial hair (males and females included) 2. Have a strange hairstyle (especially the white-boy afro puff or nasty-ass braids) 3. Wear sandals. 4. Talk way too much. 4. Think you know everything. I scheduled last night for the Spring '03 semester (my last at Penn State!!)....I only need 10 more credits to graduate (12 to remain a full-time student), here's what it looks like: FD SC 105 (Food, Facts & Fads) M, W & F 10:10 - 11:00 LARCH 060 (History of Landscape Architecture) M, W & F 12:20 - 1:10 COMM 460W (Reporting Methods) M & W 4:15 - 5:30 (**w/The Rick) COMM 462 (Feature Writing) T & R 2:30 - 3:45 Looks pretty good, hopefully the Comm's won't be hard........didn't want to get up at 10 three times a week but I guess I make up for it by having only one class Tues. and Thurs that begins at 2:30. Should be pretty phat. Jen started her new job the other day, she's teaching some little kids how to read, it sounds pretty cool, except she's gotta be at work at 7:30 am twice a week......I didn't even know they HAD a 7:30 in the morning. But anyway I wish her all the best, hopefully there won't be any problem children... Our fantasy football team, Ace in the Hole, finally won our first game of the year this weekend, hammering Mission Control 94-56...we were aided by 26 points from the Steelers' defense/special teams (after they mustered a pathetic 9 the week before) and 16 from Kurt Warner (who still looks like shit and better pick it up before we look like idiots for taking him with the second overall pick)....I'm hoping for a big game out of Stephen Davis against the Niners this week, he finished with a measly 7 points against the Eagles, who held him to only like 53 yards......we'll probably start Peerless Price, who came up with a whopping 33 points in a career performance vs. the Vikings.....of course we had him on the bench. Nooch countdown: One day, 10 hours......... Sunday, September 15, 2002
What a great weekend.....PENN STATE 40, NEBRASKA 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First off I wanna thank Chris, Sean and Alan for making it up here for a visit, we had a blast. Went to a Collegian party with Al, Jen and her roommate Margot on Saturday night to kick off the festivities, then the Nebraska boys arrived late that night.....the next day I played tour guide and took them around the PSU campus while sharing all my knowledge of Penn State history. Later on we all tailgated with my ex-roommate Paul's crew and my roomie Matt............and then it was time for the big game. Let's just say this one lived up to its billing. Pictures from the weekend will be available soon, I'll let you know.... Let's set the scene: we got in line around 6 p.m. when the gates opened. Tons of people were in line and packed around the stadium.....a lot of Cornhusker faithful in town, taking verbal abuse (Chris and Sean wore Nebraska jerseys and were verbally assaulted on several occasions)...the atmosphere was heated. We got into the stadium and had great seats, on around the 35 or 40 yard line and down pretty close. Sat around for quite some time, the chants were starting, the people were piling in. It rose to boiling point just before kick off, over the past 4 years that was probably the best atmosphere at Beaver Stadium.......and then, kickoff. It was just an awesome game all around. We were pretty much stunned how PSU came out, actually took a lead, looked great on offense, looked great on defense......It was a lot of non-stop cheering, I'm just starting to get my voice back now 24 hours later...the crowd was going nuts, we set a new attendance record, over 110,000 people were there, and it was loud as hell. Tailback Larry Johnson rushed for a career high 123 yards, he never had over 100 before.....WR Bryant Johnson looked great, making eight catches for almost 150 yards.....Zack Mills was great too as we ran the option and all types of different offenses. We used back-up QB Michael Robinson as a running back and a wideout, he finally showed everyone his athleticism as he had a couple big plays and scored two TDs. The defense was on fire, getting a couple interceptions and shutting down the Huskers. Kicker Robbie Gould made an awesome tackle on a kickoff....and to top it off, members of Penn State 1982's National Championship team were honored at halftime......Just a great, great game....easily the best in my four years here, and one of the best experiences I've ever had. People just going nuts, jumping up and down, throwing shit, high-fiving, grabbing each other's nipples, the whole nine yards....and I think Alan was converted to a lifelong Nittany Lions fan. Kudos to Chris Jones for being a gentleman in defeat, I'm sure it was a tough loss but we've had plenty over the past three years and he's already gotten a few national championships under his belt. It's our turn for a little glory. Penn State jumped from No. 25/unranked to No. 15 in both polls, while the previously-ranked No. 7 Huskers fell down to 18/19. It was Nebraska's worst loss since I believe 1990. Penn State is back in a big way, their challenge now is to keep up this level of intensity and build on this win for the rest of the season.....big game next week vs. Louisiana Tech (more on that later), but now everyone that's calling for JoePa to retire - like this ass (look for the quote from my bud Jeff Rice, the Collegian's sports editor) - can shut the hell up. Go Lions. The weekend was capped off by a thrilling Giants victory over the St. Louis Rams, 26-21......finally won a close game against a good team and got some revenge for a 15-14 heartbreaker last season against Kurt Warner and company......speaking of which, he's my fantasy QB, he better pick it up soon cuz he looks like shit. But anyway, Giants looked pretty good, it was the first time in a long time that both the Lions and Giants won in the same weekend. Pretty cool. Next weekend should be fun as hell (even though the Nebraska game probably won't be topped), but my good friend Mike Antenucci is coming up on Thursday, he'll be a guest of the Madman on the radio show, he'll even be playing a few acoustic guitar numbers live on the air, so don't miss that......we'll probably hit up the State College party scene, then watch the Lions whip up on La. Tech on Saturday, its gonna be back-to-back awesome weekends. Friday, September 13, 2002
Going to be a crazy weekend here in State College.....the big Nebraska/Penn State football showdown is tomorrow at 8 p.m. under the Beaver Stadium lights and televised on ABC. People are going nuts, folks are piling in to town already, everyone's been talking about it.......these squads haven't met up since 1983 but theres lots of bad blood, if you'll recall in 1994 both PSU and the Cornhuskers finished the season undefeated but only Nebraska was crowned National Champions......back in the 80s they had some classic matchups, including the Nittany Lions' close victory in '82 en route to their first ever national championship.......all I can say is, GO STATE BEAT HUSKERS!!!
The weekend will be extra crazy because I've got three special guests, Sean-Dogg, Al-Dawg and Chris Jones...........Jones is a huge Huskers fan, the two of us have been waiting for this matchup since H.S.......he and the Sean-Dogg are venturing up here from the south and they're sitting in the Nebraska fan section, expect some conflict....luckily I've got Al-Dawg joining me in the PSU senior section to cheer on the Lions. But mostly, though, I'm just glad we can all get together for a weekend and hang out, see the beautiful sites State College has to offer. It's going to be a good one. Wednesday, September 11, 2002
Well it's here, the 1-year anniversary of Sept. 11. Crazy, huh? Doesn't seem like a year.....doesn't seem like it even happened. Let's take a look in the Jay's World archives for the entry that day...
Tuesday, September 11, 2001 History was made today, but for all the wrong reasons. America was under attack this morning by some unknown cowardly terrorists as they hijacked four planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Somerset County PA....details are sketchy right now and we don't know what else will happen, but this is crazy. And Palestinians were on TV dancing in the streets, celebrating and praising god because they struck the "head of the serpent," America. Its really scary and sickening, almost like a nightmare or even a movie. I still can't believe all this is happening.... posted by jay bart at 3:03 PM The events of that day are pretty etched on my mind, I won't go into it all that much.......but looking back now, yes, there are some aspects of our life that will never be the same....everyone thinks twice when they travel by plane or see a jet fly overhead or have to be in a crowded place or a tall building......we all know the buzzwords like "box-cutter", "al-qaeda" and "anthrax" (the post offices of my hometown of Hamilton, NJ will be forever linked with that whole thing)......we all remember where we were when it happened, I've got some videotape of the news coverage that day to show my grandkids someday.....and we all hate Osama bin Laden (alive or dead?).........but in all honesty, have our lives really changed that much since then? I mean, the very next posts on my site after 9-11 were about having my 8 am class cancelled and getting my own radio show. Life went on, good or bad, yeah we have these hokey remembrance ceremonies now but lets face it, how many of us actually used that event as a catalyst to change how we live our own lives? I know I attempted to but probably failed miserably. I'm just saying maybe now that the shock has worn off we need to just take a quick look back and think about what's really important. Alright I'm rambling enough, later. Sunday, September 08, 2002
Yesterday's football game was pretty rough........it was people from the Collegian's news staff vs. the sports staff....believe it or not, we lost, I think it was like 21-7. Let me tell you, I'm paying for it right now, my entire body is sore, plus my bottom lip is all swollen and nasty, I took a hit on the first play of the game and was bleeding and whatnot. The game was pretty intense...they had this big dude on their team running the ball, he wasn't even a member of the Collegian. I was playing linebacker, I got in a few tackles and I forced a fumble, but we still got trounced. I'm hoping for a rematch some time this year, we're gonna kill those kids. Saturday, September 07, 2002
Fun times at Paul's party last night ..... some freshman football players were there and they even asked if Jen was single, I was pretty honored....although I almost had to knock them out.
The roster for me and my dad's fantasy football team (Ace in the Hole) is finalized, check it out: QB Kurt Warner QB Vinnie Testaverde RB Tiki Barber RB Stephen Davis RB Mike Alstott RB Warrick Dunn WR Terrell Owens WR Jimmy Smith WR Peerless Price WR Jerry Rice TE Shannon Sharpe TE Desmond Clark K Jason Elam K Morten Andersen DEF Pittsburgh Steelers DEF NY Jets Looks pretty good, I'll let you know how we fare this weekend. Friday, September 06, 2002
Ferboid: yum, amber is bringing wings over
Ferboid: good girl, man, i'm telling ya :-) JayBart2: damn i wish someone would bring me wings Ferboid: maybe if your lucky i'll bring some next weekend JayBart2: that would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet Ferboid: if your lucky...and perhaps if you let me sleep in your bed and you on the couch Ferboid: haha :-) JayBart2: we could share the bed if you want Ferboid: hmm...i trust you not to touch... Ferboid: hahahahahahahaha Ferboid: that'd be a pretty scandalous insert in your website, ya think? JayBart2: indeed
My radio show last night was, simply put, a distaster..........had some computer malfunctions so I couldn't play my commercials, station liners etc, so that kind of threw me for a loop and I screwed up a few times...........I'm just glad its over, but I assure you, everything will be sorted out next week, it can only go up from here. Special thanks to Jen and Margot for bringing me my playlist, without that I would have been really screwed.
To top it off, the Giants blew it last night against San Francisco, losing 16-13 on a late field goal. Surprisingly, the defense held it together, made some real nice goal-line stances, kept Garrison Hearst pretty much in check and completely shut down Terrell Owens, until, of course, the fourth quarter, when he made one damn big catch, that was all it took because it set up the winning field goal. The offense didn't look so bad either, Jeremy Shockey impressed me, Amani Toomer was just awesome, Kerry Collins looked great (3 INT's, only one was his fault) thanks to outstanding work by an inexperienced O-Line that was a real question mark........but in typical fashion they ended up losing despite playing well (see: losses to the Rams and Eagles last year). Still, it gives me hope for this season. Plans for the weekend: Party at my ex-roomie Paul's place tonight, Collegian football game tomorrow (news vs. sports), NFL and college football action, should be fun. Thursday, September 05, 2002
IT'S OFFICIAL:
My radio show will now be aired on Thursdays from 12 midnight to 1:30 a.m.........be sure to tune into The Lion 90.7 FM here in state college or listen online.......and all the Penn Staters are welcome to join me on the air in the studio. I'm on tonight at 12 so hook that shiz up.... This is just pitiful.....1,000 people at a freaking major league baseball game in Montreal........and for some reason they DIDN'T contract this team......but I can sort of understand it, I mean they were playing the Phillies, after all...... The NFL kicks off tonight with my Giants hosting the gay S.F. 69ers.......I don't have very high expectations for Big Blue this season, they aren't very deep at all, a lot of question marks (will they stop arguing? Will Tiki Barber make it through the year healthy? Will Ron Dayne ever get his ass in gear? Is Jason Sehorn going to come out?) but hey, the way the NFL has been the past few years, anything can happen, they've got some playmakers, NFC East looks tougher but you never know.....I just want to see my boy Jeremy Shockey tear it up and win offensive rookie of the year. Also, this is my first year dabbling in a real fantasy football league, me and my dad joined one at his work, the draft is coming up soon, I'll let you know who's on your team and keep you updated on how we're doing, just go along with it and pretend you care. Wednesday, September 04, 2002
From now on, just call me "The Stanky Beatz" (thanks Matt).......
This may be a little premature, but I think I have good news......it looks like there's a strong possibility that my radio show will be moved up to the 12 - 1:30pm timeslot on Thursdays......its not official yet, I need to run it by the folks on the Collegian night desk to see if i'll be able to have off thursday nights or at least leave a tad early for my show.....but this is great news really, I'll be on an hour earlier than last year, so people really have no excuse not to listen.........I'll keep you posted if and when I get the official word. Tuesday, September 03, 2002
Ed and Mike made it back from their trip to Italy safe and sound, no West Nile, mad cow disease, terrorist bombings or the like....sounds like they had a good time too, or at least looks that way from Ed's pictures....check them out if you get a chance, they are really awesome. |
