OOOPS! I did type Patriots didn’t I? It’s the Belichek factor-I was thinking of the days with him as defensive coord., which led to a thought of the Patriots, which led me to type Patriots, which led you to catch my error, and here we are. But I stand by “cream”. Back then, to me, any win by the Giants was a cream, be it by 1 point or 20, they were just awesome to watch, it felt and seemed like they creamed them all.

Cars? Electricity? Nada clue.

Herb… hahaha! I just watched Snakes on a Plane last night. Your post about reading and snakes reminded me of this one scene where this dude gets eaten by an anaconda. It was cool! =)

It is my dream to one day star in a Samuel L. Jackson movie! I love that man!!

Deborah, I think it is so cool that you are from an alternate timeline!

In this timeline, SB XXV is the start of Buffalo’s four year run of SB losses.

And generally speaking, we wouldn’t consider 20-19 a creaming.

But I wish to learn more of your alternate history! Who invented the car? Electricity? How many Superbowl rings do the Patriots have?

I finished a book today. I have been slow. I even stopped carrying TTW in my suitcase under the false pretense that I want to read it.

Bummer, Kimmy! But the TTW post will be around, so when you do finish it, please show up and say what you thought.

Murder on Gramercy Park by Victoria Thompson.

I was planning on joining you all with The Time Traveler’s Wife, but I ordered it and it hasn’t arrived yet.

deborah, you are the ultimate renaissance woman–you do have my respect.

and yes i am lurking on this post (well not exactly lurking) because i did not read a gosh darn thing this week and i especially didn’t read ttw, because i have a bye until 2008, at which time i hope to express my enthusiam, or lack therof, for same, and no one will give a you know what about my opinion of same.

herb, i soooo love the snake analogy. permission to use it, and reuse it, until i have appropriated it as my own?

I gotta put Eat, Pray, Love on my pile. I read 40 hours of continuing education, and need to go back and finish Focused Expressive Psychotherapy which I put on hold to read TTW.

And, yes, Annette, I not only watched the Superbowl, I loveed watching it! In my yonger days I even went to a Superbowl-XXV when the Giants creamed the Patriots. Those were the days…

Sorry if someone’s already said this (I’m in a hurry — I get an actual child-free moment in a coffeeshop with a book, thanks to my mother-in-law. If I had a laptop, I’d take it to read all these comments, but I digress).

Anyway, sorry if someone’s already said this, but you can listen at npr.org to Elizabeth Gilbert reading excerpts from her wonderful memoir. Robin already knows that I ADORE that book. So excellent. I know there’s an Italy and an India excerpt at NPR (read by Gilbert herself).

Herb, that’s such a good line it belongs on a t-shirt or coffee mug or something. Consider it.
