“T-I-T-A-N-S, Titans, Titans, Titans,” just doesn’t have the same ring to it, does it?
Wearing throwback uniforms (totally confusing me for a few minutes), the New York Jets still couldn’t pull a win Sunday over the Philadelphia Eagles. The final score was 16-9.

CFA-Iams Cat Championship
Kitty Charm That’s So Raven woke up at 4 a.m. to get here. Dollchateau Casanova IV came from Princeton, N.J. And Billy Idol and Disco Noferno lounged in a chenille sweater and Chippendale bowtie, respectively. These cats are in New York not for the famed Jelical Ball, of which T.S.

Snakes on the Sidewalk
Here is a video of Marianne playing a song she wrote (”Snakes on the Sidewalk”) at Bar 169 in New York City Sept. 12. It recently went to YouTube, which I didn’t think I could do. So, enjoy, and bear with the quality–my camera’s still out of commission.
