Questions Anyone?

I'm meeting with Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens at 11 tomorrow morning. If you have any questions you'd like me to ask him, feel free to email them along. I hope to have something up on the Green Alert site early next week.

Internet is down for the second day in a row so I'm on the dreadfully slow dialup connection. I'll get back to you later today but first I've got to get my car (with 140,000 miles on it) to the mechanic this morning to diagnose and hopefully fix whatever is causing that horrible screeching sound that makes people turn their heads when I first start off. Probably a belt. Hopefully a belt. (Can you tell I'm not exactly a mechanic?)

For what it's worth, a group of people on our road who have been annoyed by the constant outages of our radio Internet provider have been meeting with the local cable provider and town of Hanover administrators about stringing wire down the road. If I understand correctly, you need 15 houses per mile to sign up. If that's the case, we are out of luck because in the first mile of our road there are only six houses if I'm counting right. We're another half mile down the road from that. The "committee" is getting an estimate for how much it would cost each home owner to bring cable down the road. It sounds like I may have to raise the Green Alert rate to, oh, $1,500 per next year. (That's a joke.)

All I have at this point in the morning is a link to a Sun-Sentinel note about the third annual Walk Under The Stars 5K Marathon in South Florida to benefit the fight against cystic fibrosis. I mention it because Jay Fiedler is the co-chairman and co-founder of the event. For more information on the event, click here.
