Work is really overwhelming right now. It sucks to have that constantly anxious feeling on your birthday! I hope I have an appetite for Joe Theismann's tonight.
*UPDATE* DO NOT go to Joe Theismann's. Unless you really love salt, I guess.

Twas not to be...
Went to Clyde's to watch the game with about 100 alumni.
AU did give the Vols some scary moments for most of the game. In the end, the experience of the Vols' players won out and AU went down by 15 points, despite AU's having the player with the most points, and killing the Vols in rebounds.
The only way I could be more proud is if they had won the game. It was so much fun to watch with a bunch of AU people - the energy of the room was amazing.

The States
We were watching the episode of the History Channel's series, The States, this weekend. Each state has a celebrity spokesperson to sort of narrate the segment. Ann Curry (NBC) for Oregon, Neil Patrick Harris for New Mexico, etc. We were all jazzed to see who would be featured in the Vermont segment. I quickly Googled famous Vemonters (besides Cupcake) and discovered most of them are from days of yore.
However, we do have the members of Phish (are they actual natives, or flatlanders that came to VT later?) and sportscaster Ken Squier. Another option was Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, but they are most definitely not natives.
So, who did they have? Some chick who won some snow boarding thing. Like, whatevs. I am anti-snowboard in a big way. I think they ruin the alpine experience for us skiers. I plan to ski Mad River Glen as much as possible when I move. The one thing this chick had, though, was a fair-to-middling VT accent. But she was dumb as a box of rocks, not exactly representative of the intellectual achievments of the state. Oh, if we could only bring back Silent Cal for documentary commentary.
