The most recent (and next to last) vidcast about this season's "Dancing With the Stars" is here. You will note my delight about Joanna Krupa's departure.

So I was watching the latest episode of "Friday Night Lights" on my little laptop, via the press feed from DirecTV, with less than perfect video and a big DirecTV logo on the screen much of the time. And I was so drawn into it and touched by it that I said I small thank-you to ...
