I had to chase Bernard off the terminal so that I could
write a final message from Starkville. I'll be taking
a noon plane out of GTR, with a quick stop in Tupelo
before changing planes in Memphis. Then 3 hours to
Boston, and the bus back to Providence.

I'm tired just thinking about it all.

I had a wonderful visit here, but it will also be good
to get back to "real life" in the snow country (Did I
really say that?).

Everybody have a happy, safe day, and a happy, safe
week, and a happy, safe year.

Uh, 'fraid I don't follow your 'stereotypes' comment, Graham. If you

Nope again. She criticizes lesbians for lack of style, lack of sexuality,
and lack of humor. Like I say, if ya read her stuff, see her on tv, and
glom her op-ed stuff, you'd see that much of her writing isn't so much
intellectual, but rather a ploy for striking back at any and all against
whom she's held a grudge over the years. But, she's yesterday.

I know there's no such thing as a bad Honda, of course.  I always go to
the Honda lot and buy something pretty close to the bottom of the line --
always a Civic of some kind.  I've sometimes wondered what it is people are
paying extra for when they get an Accord rather than a Civic.  I'm assuming
Accords are somehow better, although I've always been happy with my Civics.
I'm least happy with my current one because of a rattle in the hatchback
and because one of the rear speakers seems to be loose beyond repair.  I've
also decided that it would be nice to have a trunk to hide things at shopping
malls or when traveling -- to keep from having to take everything inside from
fear of burglary.  Usually I keep my Hondas 5 or 6 years, but this one is
gonna go sooner than that.

But doesn't "The Of The Sun" sound a bit odd?  The name appeals to me since

Here's my favorite: go to the store, and buy the can that says it has the
pork rind in it, then take it home and open it and put some salt in it and
heat it until bubbly.

boards to plug in, etc).  Sometimes the files are called MooVies instead
of "movies" because the code  identifying a document as a QuickTime file
is "MooV".  Just nerdspeak in action.

MATCH GAME/Gene Rayburn

A wonderful game show from the seventies that relied on double entendres
and other varied sexual references for entertainment.  (Gene Rayburn was
the host of the show.)  There were two contestents, and a panel of six
celebrities.  Gene would read from a card that contained a line like,
"Slutty Suzy is soooo fat..." ("How fat is she?" goes the audience.) "She's
so fat that in order to get her out of her chair her husband had to use a
<blank>."  Then the celebrities would write the word they thought best fit
in the blank on cards, and the contestant had to give his own guess.  The
more times he matched what the celebrities said, thfurther ahead he would get.

One can't really bring up "Match Game" without mentioning Charles Nelson
Reilly, but I'll leave it to someone else to describe HIM.

        Right you are.  A long time ago, it seems like.

        Your memory is amazing!  Yep, I still go by "The Lamplighter,"
occasionally, though this no longer seems like a list where people use
handles.

Thanks for the welcome back, and take care,

Well, the next time I see a college football game, I'll know who to root for.:-)
My old college team, the UConn Huskies, doesn't get much national TV
exposure, if any.  They aren't that good.  It's the basketball team that goes
places; the Lady Huskies made it to New Orleans last year - final four.
