ezs note: If you live in Connecticut, I'd love it if you could take a few minutes to ewrite your state Representative and your state Senator to expand commuter rail between Hartford and Waterbury. Just take a few minutes to read the flyer that I wrote, and if you feel so moved, write these people an email.

Thanks.

If you live outside of Connecticut, but have a friend who lives there, please tell them. Once again, thanks.

By the way, if you're free on Saturday nights, Ed broadcasts live on most Saturday nights at 8 pm (Eastern time). Look for :
