At least there's no Infante, Gotay, or Norton as starters

Those nights I just think we should hand the other team the victory and not waste everybody’s time playing the game, getting our hopes up. At least tonight it looks like we have a shot. But boy do we need Yunel….

Thanks! I borrowed

my father’s Canon Rebel EOS digital/SLR…drool.
A few months ago a friend gave me his “old” Canon SLR & the 300mm lens with it. The batteries for that camera died, so I took a chance and asked to borrow the old man’s, and paired it with the lens. Unfortunately yesterday I heard from security that they are going to start banning lenses longer than 5 inches at the Ted. Will have to protest.

by Lizziebeth on Jul 21, 2008 7:11 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

really?

Is it because of the lens itself, meaning they don’t want you taking good pictures or is it a fear that somebody will smuggle something in it?

Well, the photos looked good!

Article in Details this month entitled, “Josh Grobin is not a Tool.” With the next line, “Adoring middle=aged women may pay his bills, but this rock-star baritone is cooler than you think.”
