Perhaps somebody will do a web search on "should I use Cox Communications for my TV/internet/phone provider?" and they will get some helpful information and learn to ... http://spinsteronthecouch.com/?p=140 My crushing disappointment and anguish has been temporarily counteracted by the recent presidential election, so I thought I'd take this time to write a little entry about the World Series. Game Seven of the ALCS was a weird experience, to say the least. Erin and Danielle were pretty damn gracious ... http://spinsteronthecouch.com/?p=139 I have gotten over being drunk zen and am now mired in grouchiness.
