That must be some good pastrami...

Carnegie Deli - best pastrami in the world!

Well all, I'm home from the Rose Bowl.

I'm tired and hungry but I am currently sitting on the couch with my feet up and I'm watching the Orange Bowl (btw, how are either of these teams in a BCS bowl? seriously. The OB should be ashamed.)

In any event, I'll post pics soon, though some of you got a lovely picture message from me.

Ok, here's a link to a mini-album I posted of some pics from the Rose Bowl. For my FB friends, there are more there.

Thanks for posting the photos. It was a great game on tv. Sanchez was amazing. LOads of color, good playing, and plenty of great scenes.

Questions from the tv:
1) Just how low was that Stealth Bomber? FREAKY low!
2) Cloris Leachman YET again!! Ugh!!

Yeah, watching a little Orange Bowl after that ... it might as well have been the International Bowl.

Cheers,

Such is the state of football in the ACC and Big East.

I played a bit of Guitar Hero as well. Fun with other games made me buy myself a Wii. A friend tells me that Wii Music has handbells. I'll have to check that out.

Let me know what you find out on the handbells. It might tip the scales to get a Wii.

When did they quit showing the Orange Bowl halftime show? It was always fun to watch and laugh at the extravaganza.

It is now time for the post season let down. My sister and her family have left for PA and I have to get used to not having them around. Time to catch up on the Boards and my personal e-mail.

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe New Year.

Thanks to the miracle of youtube, it's the Doobie Brothers.

IIRC, last year it was ZZTop.

1) The Stealth WAS freaky low. Here's another shot:

2) Couldn't really tell it was Cloris from where I was. Gosh, darn.

Ok gang, I don't want to hit the Ticket Exchange board with this because I haven't made any decisions yet, but...

What's the chance that one of you might, just might have an extra ticket for either 1/17 Georgetown or 2/7 Miami? I may just try to swing a quick trip out East... just a thought. And of course, you'd get ME sitting with YOU at the game as a bonus!

Pffffffffffft!

To be a "stealth" plane, it's pretty damn easy to see.

The designers must be morons!

If it makes you feel any better, we never even knew it was coming... only way we knew it was there was by seeing it. Never heard anything.

(We were used to the traditional fly over- a few loud planes in formation, etc etc.)

I love the flyover by the loud planes...I don't want to be protected by aliens. I want a bunch of loud guys who can kick butt. Unless the aliens can kick their butts.

I sent you a PM with an alternate suggestion.

I always loved the flyovers at Arrowhead. It seemed like they were only a few feet above the tallest point of the stadium then someone complained about the noise level in the stadium during the flyover. It turns out they were actually flying below their ceiling. We still got flyovers after that, but they were never as close again.

Sue71 - did you use a special camera to get the picture?

If I told you, I'd have to have EJ kidnap you to his basement with BillyBreen.

That could be interesting.

I am at this moment downloading pictures from my digital camera to my computer. I feel so 21st century!

LOL. I was just talking with a really old friend of mine - he's retired - and his wife got him an iPod for Christmas, so he said the exact same thing to me a few minutes ago. He was rocking out to some 60's music.

What's the over/under on getting to 8000 posts this weekend? I'd say it's a done deal.
