Why must I add yet another stupid plug-in this time "Microsoft
Silverlight" to watch the video via Firefox? I tried IE, but its temporary
per session and need to tolerate commercials.

Screw em, I'll pass and will wait for the Youtube version.

I've noticed that pop up for Silver a couple of times and finally downloaded
it. No problems and it works just fine.
BTW ... at somebody's recommendation .... (I think Harry) .... I also
downloaded the GOM player. Nice! I like all the custom settings
available, although I haven't tried them yet. But, it seems to be fast and
glitch free.

I have no idea what Silverlight is, though when I log on to the Windoze
update site, it is "offered" to me. What does it do?

The only way to do beef liver is get the calves version. It's only cooked in
the frying pan for a minute or two on each side, otherwise it gets tough. A
little blood is OK also. 8)

Beef and calf's liver is loaded with saturated fat and cholesterol.
Otherwise.it is high in good nutrients/vitamins and when properly
prepared it is delicious.

Agreed. But then you have to listen to all the animal rights people
complaining about how that calve was raised.

Do you recall Hull's Hobbies a block down the street toward the Yale

remember. I think it became a Chinese restaurant.

I don't. I didn't spend a heck of a lot of time in downtown New Haven,
although we'd go for an occasional concert or to shop at the Yale Co-op.

Beats me. But a couple of links people provided here resulted in a window
saying that Windows Silverlight was required to view the video when using
Firefox. So, after a couple of times I downloaded and installed it and
could then view the video.

The Co-Op used to sell button down Gant shirts for $7.95. Same shirts
are now about $100, and the funny thing is they cost less to make now
than they did when I was a schoolboy buying them.

The owner of Hull's sold it a few years ago, and the new owners moved it
closer to the Yale school of architecture and the gallery. It now sells
architectural supples, modeling supplies, et cetera, but no more balsa
airplanes. Bummer.

Did you visit Cutler's Record Shop next to the Co-op? I don't know if it
is still there, either. I had an afterschool job there for about six
months. At the time, it was a pretty big record store.

My mother, God Bless her, was a brilliant woman, but couldn't cook
worth a fig - only person I know who thought boiling hamburger was a
good thing. Consider that I went into the service at 6'3", 142 pounds
- I never ate anything she made - couldn't. I was the only recruit
who actually gained weight during Boot instead of losing weight.

Absoutely true by the way.

Anyway, she would have liver every Thursday - shoe leather and no
amount of carmalized onions could save it.

Another gagger of youth that I grew to really like is yogurt.

My Uncle Dave the dairy farmer made his own yogurt and I loved it from
the get go. In particualr with real strawberries, blueberries or,
oddly, cranberries.
