That Columbia doesn't have a game in the Ivy TV package is unacceptable. Assuming that the dates of games can't be changed, the most logical choice for a Columbia game would have been the Oct. 20 contest against Dartmouth in New York City. Instead the decision was made to carry Penn and Yale, which each have three games in the package. It's surprising and disappointing that the Ivy League didn't strongarm NBC Sports Network into carrying at least one Columbia game.

Yesterday she was in Rome and happened, by accident, to see the Pope. She has a quick note on her blog which is called Eat Dessert First.TCHHG might be even more excited that she's been chosen Dartmouth Student Assembly secretary for summer term.

Our unbeaten Green Machine baseball team plays in the second round of the Cal Ripken playoffs this evening. If we advance we play again Monday although I would miss that game because Mrs. BGA and I will be driving to New York City to pick up a Certain World Traveler, who will arrive home in time for her brother's graduation at the end of the week.
