There was a murder mystery where the victim was a womanizer and the three
suspects were his three girlfriends.  The guilty party was the one with a

*******************************************************************************

				    FALL VOLLEYBALL

	Location:	Gateway Junior High School (Monroeville).
			Only 15-20 minutes east of Oakland / Pittsburgh.

	Elibigility:	Both individuals and teams are welcome.
			Men, Women, or Coed.
			A great place for teams to scrimmage, or for
			individuals to get some serious court time.

	Day / time:	Thursdays, 7-10 pm.

	Starting date:	September 24, 1992

	Fee:		Only $26 for 12 weeks.  Cheap!
			(6 week registration for $15 also available --
			good for any 6 weeks during the fall session.)
			(There is a one-time-per-year fee of $5 for
			non-Monroeville residents which applies to all
			programs, including the next session.)

	Miscellaneous:	This is to be clean "power" volleyball.  Ability
			levels typically range from B through AA.  There
			are 2 courts, and the gym is fairly nice.  I'd
			describe the atmosphere as "friendly competetive".
			The program resumes with a new session in January.

	Directions:	From Pittsburgh:
			Take the Parkway (376) east to the third Monroeville
			exit, which is Route 48 North.  Turn left at the first
			light (<1/4 mile), and the entrance to GJHS's parking
			lot will be immediately on your left.  The gym is at
			the back of the school, next to the track.

			From various other places:
			Or take the Turnpike (76) to Exit 6 (Pittsburgh).
			Exit onto Business Route 22 West, and make the first
			right onto Route 48 North.  Then proceed as above.

			From elsewhere:
			Contact Nick (see below).

	More details:	Contact Nick Nystrom (nick@theory.chem.pitt.edu)

Sounds like I need to mail you one of my extra foggers :-)

I had quite the day.  I got up and decided the fleas bothering my cat,
Duchess, and the roaches that made it through the exterminators visit
a couple of weeks ago, needed to die.  So I started one of those fogger
thingamawhozeits and took the cat into work.  She wasn't real happy
with the change in scenery, though she warmed to it a bit by the end of
the day.  She sure was popular!  I haven't had as many visitors in a
day for awhile, and the best part was that the majority didn't come to
ask technical questions :-)  She's more lovable at home, but she's just
as pretty even when she's a little nervous.

Anyway, I'm already collecting little dead carcasses (sigh).  I hate
having to do this; if they'd just stay out of my space, roaches and
fleas could get along okay.

[a story too depressing to repeat]

We live in the kind of a world where after a day like you described could be followed by spending a most wonderful day with loved ones enjoying the nicest day of the summer and seeing all that's beautiful in life.  Some AIDS patients who have come to an acceptance of their diagnosis find in each day something special and wonderful about life.  For them each day is special, because it could be their last.

I think most of us go through life thinking we are immortal (we certainly 
think we're immortal as adolescents) until through either the untimely 
death of close friends or our own near death experiences that we begin to 
realize that our time is limited.  Some of the sadness we feel at times of 
loss may be the process of accepting that our own life is finite.  For 
some, that is the point at which they decide to accept what life offers 
them and find joy within it rather than focus on the many negatives that 
surround us.

Yes, the place to look for attractive people is at the eye doctor's office.

Of course, the hitch with using pupil size to gauge interest is that the
light level has to remain constant.

Now I don't understand.  It sounds like you're saying his dad is a USCF
(United States Cycling Federation) official.  So didn't his dad ever
race and thus also at one time shave his legs?  

If he really thinks he shaves because of road rash, he must really 
crash a lot.  

I wonder, was it difficult to put up with his training/racing schedule?
Did he give you enough time?   Were you supportive of his racing?

Don't get me wrong.  I'm sure you have plenty of reasons to never want to
speak to him again.  I'm just curious as to how one deals with an athletic
fanatic while in a relationship.  Since to be even moderately good in bike 
racing you have to be a fanatic.  I've only been racing since July and
haven't really dated anyone since.  So I wonder if it's a difficult thing 
for the other person to deal with.  You know all the hours he (or she) 
spends on the bike, plus all the hours he (or she) spends maintaining the
bike, talking about racing, etc.

Within my limited experience, I would be uncomfortable with a girlfriend who
didn't/couldn't do anything without me, or had no life outside the
relationship (thus making the relationship very insular and "in-bred").
However, I don't think I would object to having one who "couldn't live
without me" in a broader sense; has a life away  from the relationship, but
finds life much preferable *with* the relationship around.

Perhaps not surprisingly, that's more or less how I feel:  Life *with* a
partner is to me much preferable to life without.  (Sadly, I've been in the
latter camp for the last 14 months.)

Apropos of body fragrances, what do you think of men's aftershaves/
fragrances?  Is the consensus for or against?  Personally, I do
like some of them (Fahrenheit makes me go weak at the knees and I 
adore Tuscany or Eternity For Men) but they obviously must be 
used in small doses.  
What about women's perfumes too?  I use Calyx by Prescriptives which
is very light. I don't like the heavier muskier ones.

Pretty much sums up the plot of "Deadly Weapons".  Definatly the worst
