Funny about the magazines! At one point I somehow ended up on the mailing list of the Northern Kentucky Right To Life group-they are seriously hard core. No idea where it came from-I get a ridiculous amount of mail from various liberal organizations requesting donations. Then that one shows up! I put it in an envelope and mailed it back to them, and I wrote “no thanks” on the cover so they couldn’t reuse that newsletter. It took a while, but they eventually stopped sending them.

Hey! I tried out for Survivor too. They had a local casting call so I went and stood in line with the rest and had some very interesting conversations before nothing happened.

The notebook has been replaced by the lap-top. People play games instead of do crosswords. In my law school there’s a professor who teaches a class on privacy law. At some point in the semester he’s showing something on the big projector in front of the class then switches it to a camera focused on someone in class who is playing solitaire on the laptop.

I’m freakishly double-jointed. For example, I can clasp my hands together behind my back and bring them to the front (over my head) without letting go.

Wow, I think I’d end up in the hospital if I tried that……..
