I am quite convinced that my animosity (though that is a strong word) is etched more deeply as a direct result of my previous status. <BR/><BR/>As Woody Allen says of Homer Simpson's fortune-cookie-writing skills, "He's like a young me! ...I should be in New York writing riddles on Popsicle sticks"<BR/><BR/>forthcoming blog expounding on these issues.I got an "A" in Crazy Beeyotchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14181117357928076971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053388656863652665.post-47923981647831111002009-02-11T09:38:00.000-08:002009-02-11T09:38:00.000-08:00So that was Murderous Rage that I was detecting fr...So that <I>was</I> Murderous Rage that I was detecting from the Grown-Up corners of the room!
