Hope you're doing well, David. I still go back/forth with Steve Stahler some out there in Berkeley. He's more or less ok. I think he has a new girlfriend which is a good thing for him. That was such a nice evening last year - Cambridge wasn't it at that neat music party? Not much going on with me. Just muddling through wishing I could play music in Barcelona and live out my days outside of the United States madness. Be in touch when you can. msandover@yahoo.com

Unitas

Ken,

All set on the info requests. Hope you enjoyed the games today. I used to watch Unitas at Memorial Stadium. Sort of hunched over. Those funny hightops. Not the smoothest player. Just one of the best.

Ken,

It's David Lasagna. I know you've been wanting to hear from me and I'm sorry it took so long. I happened to find you today cuz I was trying to do a little sleuthing for Bev Harris of BlackBoxVoting and as I was trying to track down AnneMarieTimmons on a tip from a public defender friend of mine I came across you. I'm a computer idiot and don't really even know where I'm typing you from right now. Ran into Mark Stein a year ago, too. Oberlin gravitational pulls, I guess. So let me cut to the chase. Can you direct me to someone who can help me find out the identities of the guys who actually go pick up the ballots all over NH? Trying to do a little chain of custody work here, but only as a way of getting to the infinite number of other issues worldwide in need of immediate attention. Hope you're well.

David Lasagna

I don't know about "hero" status. I have a hard time calling any sports star a "hero", but I certainly feel privileged to watch such a spectacular sportsman when I go to see the Patriots play. The most amazing thing about this man is his patience and courage; that ability to appear so completely unruffled even when things aren't going well. As good as Payton Manning may be, it's a quality noticeably lacking in him. I'm hoping Tom Brady will have a long, healthy career because I so enjoy watching him stroll up to the line of scrimmage like he's just out for a Sunday stroll in the park.

A warning to fanatic supporters of Dennis Kucinich (not all his supporters are fanatics and don't need this warning): This commentary is about two football heroes. Football is a game you would never watch because it is a brutal, violent, physical competition for male domination. It's the favorite pastime of corporate America. One of the football players mentioned here was named Best Quarterback of All Time by Sports Illustrated, a magazine you'd never read, that exploits and degrades women. Once a year, they pay a group of skinny women, whose profession is to stay skinny, wear clothes, and get their pictures taken, to go to the West Indies for a few weeks, wear skimpy bathing suits and get their pictures taken. For this, the magazine pays each woman significantly more money than I make in a year. You've been warned, Kucinich fanatics.
