>>>The are all terrific but Michiko is the royalty of the three. It's cool in itself that the lead book reviewer of our lead paper has a name like Michiko Kakutani.

On to football, the games are busy on the recorder even as we speak. My football weekend already got off to a great start. One of my good friend's sons plays offensive tackle for Miami of Ohio, Matt Kennedy, #66. I didn't even know they had risen from the ashes of last season's 1-11 season until hearing on the drive home last night that they were playing Northern Illinois for the MAC championship. An exciting game and they won it. Jim is one of the best guys I know, all about family, and I was really happy for Miami.

Now if only Oregon loses..... (evil cackle)
