Well, I set my VCR to tape the Grier/Carter closeup, "Black Ice"
at 8:00 pm.  When I got home, I eagerly rewound the tape and
turned it on.  And I saw -- arrrgh -- BASEBALL.  The Dodgers and
Marlins, to be precise.  Skunked by ESPN again.

(nobody famous -- or even literary and obscure -- actually said
that, I just thought someone should)
