  1. Webb Hubbel and Hillary's  daughter, Chelsea  is a Stanford  grad. We had an undergrad student in the lab one semester that was in the DKE fraternity. DKE  was the  closest to a real life Delta House there. He said Chelsea  would attend all the weekend parties and get s-faced every weekend. The Secret Service would stand guard outside the frat house. DKE got kicked off campus the next year.

    Hanson's inferiority complex is what drives a stupid comment like his. Nobody - NOBODY - is hiring a Fresno State grad over a Columbia grad. It's fine to say that Columbia's reputation has taken a hit. But its grads will do just fine.

    I'd hire  a UB grad over a Stanford grad any day. Worked at Stanford  from '95-'97.   Graduate degrees were good, but the undergrad degree at that time wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. Might have changed since then, but at that time you could  resign from the class until the last week of the semester  and not have it appear on your transcript. You could take the class multiple times with only the final  time showing on the transcript.

  3. Not much in Hartford. Lived in Bristol for 2 years. Literally a quarter mile away  from ESPN HQ.  Went to the street  and  looked over and could see the satellite dishes. Was only in Hartford  for a Whalers game (when I went to interview for my job) and to see  the Sabres vs Whalers. Got to sit 2 rows behind the Sabres bench because there was  a snowstorm. Went to see the USS Nautilus in New London  and Mystic Seaport. Basketball HOF  is only  30-40 miles north in Springfield, MA.

  4. Remember going to a bar and seeing people crowding around a Pac Man game watching a person breaking a 100 K score. 

     

    Lived in Sunnyvale, CA for a couple of years and there was a small comedy club/bar called Rooster T. Fethers (may still be in businesss). Nolan Bushnell (founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese) installed  the first Pong game there.  The next morning, the owner of the club called to tell him the game was broken.  He showed up and found that the coin box was full.  No one had anticipated the demand.

  5. More good news. 10 weeks post transplant.  Went Monday for a biopsy on new kidney.  Went today for labs and to see the doc. No signs of rejection. Physician's assistant said they rate the biopsy results  from 0-15 with 0 being a newborn and 15 being almost dead. Mine was a 4. She said the best she has ever seen was a 2. May be able to be out in public without a mask by month's end.

  6. A friend grew up in Gettysburg,PA. He  still had a an early  70's Playboy.  He kept it because th centerfold  in the issue was  a HS classmate of his.  Everybody in town knew her before Playboy because her parents owned a small local amusement park. He showed us her picture in the yearbook.  Her name in Playboy was different  because her last name (I kid you not) was D*ck.😀
