Aww shucks.  Thanks, sweetie.  Christmas was nice, if low-key this year.
The little siblings had the forbearance to wait till 8:00 to drag us
all out of bed to open presents (they started trying around 7:15, but
since I was up till 2 AM wrapping and such, I pleaded for a few more
minutes rest.  Church after that.  Home and dinner after that, this
year without any guests.  The whole thing was so relaxing I went to
bed early and got up late the next morning.

The perverse thing about the stocking is that I stuffed my own.  I
guess that's the sign of being truly Grown Up.  Mom was busy wrapping
the kids' presents, so she got out the stocking stuff and I just put
it into the stockings, assembly line-style.  Except I spirited Mom's
stocking away and my brother and I filled it separately.  Since she
does (usually) everyone else's, we always do hers.

The other perverse thing about this season is that I have Christmas,
my name day and my birthday all within 3 weeks of each other.  And
then the whole rest of the year goes by with no occasions for anyone
to give me presents.  I guess that's as good an incentive as any to
finish my dissertation this year.  They I'd get presents in May.
Yee-hah!

Anyway, I couldn't go to the Boston thang (sorry, Tushar) because
I had to be home doing Christmas Eve stuff.  Heard it was great.

Talk to you all later.

It must be that time of year..... Chris twisted his ankle on Christmas Eve and

his computer.... I guess it's too dangerous for him in the outside world and
I should have left him in his room.

My commisserations on your injuries.... I don't have too much trouble with
my ankles apart from 'osteo' which means I can't stand for extended periods,
but I usually manage to twist my left knee at least once a year. :-(

I think of Trinity as having a better reputation than SMU.  But then I
hang around with odd people.

That reminds me -- I was once stuck in the El Paso airport and then in
the Dallas airport with a fascinating person who taught at Trinity.  I
can't remember his name now or what he taught there.  And why would he
have been with me in Dallas if he was on his way to San Antonio from
El Paso?  Dumb question, I guess.  That makes a good bit more sense than
having to go through Atlanta to fly from here to Jackson (not that I've
ever known anybody who did that, but it's what you would have to do).
I think I first met the interesting person at the dog races in Juarez the
night before.  Then I ran into him again at the airport during wild storms
that had all the flights confused.  That must have been the same night
we landed in Shreveport and couldn't take off again for four hours because
of the weather between there and Jackson and then almost crashed in
Jackson because the people there had turned off the runway lights.  'Twas
a jolly night.  But back to the interesting Trinity person:  I would ask
you if you knew him, abh, if I could remember his name.  He must have taught
either English or a foreign language since I met him at RMMLA.  His ambition
was to move to Rumania.  Or was it Hungary?  Although Hungary sounds like
a more likely choice, I'm pretty sure it was Rumania.

  Surely it only shows contempt if the pitcher believes the batter to be
(say) Charlie Brown. Anyway, do we now have the suggestions that your
self-respect requires you to show contempt for the batter from time to

41) Mills and Boon book (Carolyn)

Mills and Boon is a publishing house that produces paperback romance
novelettes. They emerged around the 70's and have cornered the market in
'penny dreadfuls' in Australia. The plots are always the same, only the
characters and settings are changed. I think these are very similar to the
Harlequin Romances that were also referred to.

>   What is it?

AHD 3 says "A pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) of western North America,
having light wood used in construction."

They're everywhere in northern Idaho. My grandmother's backyard was full of
Lodgepole pines; we used them for firewood a lot. Now the logging industry is
taking care of them.
