I arranged them!  But I'm just not as neat and anal-retentive as *SOME*
people are.  Chet, the guy who was explaining all this to me (today
is his last day at work, so I have to pump his brain quick!) is very
particular that everything be arranged just so--I opened a window off-
center once, and he never let me forget it.

I love lebkuchen!!!  I haven't made them for years, though.  I can never
remember to make them and let them sit!

Thanks, and big hugs back to you too!  It is such a strange feeling
being here and posting to the list.  Nice, though.  And I had a good
time at Ken's --thanks again, Ken, for inviting me.

So.  Here I am, sitting at the computer, and I can't think of a thing

The peculiar dress-codes of the employees of our University are the only
way we can tell the Academic Staff from the Administrative Staff. The
academic males dress as above; the females wear long dresses or slacks.....
usually with sandals or similar footwear. The Administrative Staff OTOH, all
look like they're about to go to church..... to pray for the abolition of
students and academics in the University, perhaps? :-)

Re climbing trees for mistletoe: Don't climb the trees. Do as I did last
Saturday: get one of those extendable handles for paint rollers. I was
getting some mistletoe from one of the trees on the campus, and a student,
returning to a parking lot after finishing one of his exams, asked for
some of it, saying, "I think maybe that will come in handy tonight." So
students do still think of some things besides  poor economic conditions.

Sure, but msstate is an an actual campus, isn't it? When we play the game
at NYU, we're sitting on the streets of Manhattan.  To the left of my dorm
is a huge apartment building, to the right Health Services and a bar.  So
you have to sort through throngs of "metropolitan citizenry" to pick out
the profs.  And I know a lot of teachers/profs here who subscribe to a
much more liberal dress code than the average student.

Here at NYU, CAS profs are by far the easiest to pick out; just look for
the frazzled, ill-mannered yuppies rushing to the copy center to run off
about 500 copies of their latest to-be-published article lest they not be
able to include it in this week's "What Did You Do For Us?" interrogation.

Subject:      Fountain pen news

Greetings,

Today's WS Journal has a p.1 blurb that might interest fountain pen buffs.

It seems advertising in increasing owing to increased consumer interest in
these relics.  One fellow says, "a new generation has discovered pens."
Limited edition pens are very popular, espcially those that recall the
1920s and 1930s.  Mont Blanc recently released a $600 limited edition
"Hemingway" pen with the writer's signature engraved on the cap.
Commemorating the beleaguered Maastricht treaty, an Italian manufacturer
pushes a 12 sided "Europa" pen for $700.

Although I hadn't intended to do so, I quoted much of the above verbatim
and without quotation marks (I wouldn't want anyone to accuse me of not
crediting the WSJ for its words).
