I didn't watch the game last night; I couldn't bear to. I grew up listening to the Royals on the radio, through that period where the Yankees took the pennant from us four years running. I had a feeling it was going to happen again.

On the other hand, I did finish watching Failure is Not an Option on The History Channel. (Gotta love TiVo.) I own Gene Kranz's memoir of the same name, and the video relates to it about the same way that the film A Brief History of Time related to the book of that name, but in reverse. ABHoT the book is facts, while the film is a biography of Stephen Hawking; FiNaO is the other way around. No matter; I highly recommend watching it if it comes around again.
