Re: This year's black eyes

Sounds good to me!  Ours were good, too, if not quite so spicy.  Tried to eat 
enough to be very wealthy this year.  Then stayed up too late to see FSU lose 
again to Miami.  Real downer, but there is always next year.  I can remember 
when the Florida Gators had a 26-game losing streak.  But that's ancient 
history now.
