my wife tells me i should go on jeapordy because there's nights that i nail every one.

knowing my luck, it would be a special night where all of the categories were about literature.

i got 1 thru three, and missed the next three. not even a guess.

and lobster thermidor is the only fancy dish name that i know using lobster, so that was easy in a way. i never knew "thermidor" was based on the french republican calendar.

i learned something already today. thanks lt.


can i go back to sleep now?

My wife tells me the same thing, BT;
but i know in my heart that once there, in front of the lights, I would freeze up like a nude in a blizzard...............and make a total fool of myself!
