    Ha! Or I just copied his post, changed the answers, and missed that one.
    I'm sure he's a swell guy, though.

    My response was missing NBA game, which, again, I don't really recall.
    Was a 76ers game some time before I moved to Guam. Probably '95 or '96.
    Don't remember the opponent.

    Went to watch some harness ponies at the Meadowlands the other night. Lost 6 or 8 bucks on blind exactas but snapped a few decent shots of ol' gnarly grizzled bettors.

    Harness racing is rather dumb. It's all about thoroughbreds.
