to go to the Bucs game to see them wrap up that playoff spot on Sunday...

Speaking of prose -- saw the following award on a web page somewhere:


 *Most Wildly Poetic Prose in a Millennium Issue*:=20

In the essay that accompanied Playboy=E2=80=99s =E2=80=9CCenterfolds of the=20=
Century,=E2=80=9D=20
novelist D. Keith Mano described each of the 100 winners in prose that soare=

to orgasmic heights: =E2=80=9CShe looks like a bureau with the top two drawe=
rs pulled=20

the Swiss civil code ... stunning as an oil field blowout. ...=E2=80=9D=20
