Well, I know how to program a VCR...I just can't seem to do it right. After spending the evening marking my friend Laura Little's imminent achievement of the quarter-century mark, I came home to watch the SDSU vs. UNLV mens basketball game. Which I had taped -- or so I believed. Turns out, instead of setting the recording for 2 1/2 hours, I set it for 1 1/2 hours. That was just long enough to see the Aztecs stink the place up, and not for their comeback to force OT.

They lost in the end anyway....so no big tragedy.
