doing: trying not to have to watch anymore football (there is only so much a girl can take) Echoing mismi. Our son is home for the weekend and he and his dad have watched football games all day, even flipping back and forth between them. I mean really! The scores are all on the interweb these days!

Its just about the best drink you can get at any type of fair or festival.
Its made with lemons, sugar, and water.

I found a recipe online so you can try it.
But be warned, if your are a diabetic, it has a high sugar content.
You can however, use artificial sweetener instead of sugar.

1/2 cup sugar
2 lemons, cut in half
water
ice
Directions
1In a 16 oz glass pour in sugar.
2Squeeze lemons to juice them (into glass) and then add the squeezed halves.
3Add ice, then water to fill.
4Cover and"shake" until sugar is dissolved.

I was out when the Ohio State game was on, I looked around on my Blackberry for scores, found this site that provided play-by-play, clicked "next" at intervals and saw exactly what had happened since I last checked. It was so awesome. (And a blow-out, so I'm not really sorry I missed it. OSU won but blowouts are boring. OK, I would've liked to see the 76-yard TD reception though...)

Aha! Thanks, MM.
