It has come to my attention that someone whom I won't name, but who is one of our New York City members and not of the male persuasion, has received a special-recognition award from her work, for her assistance immediately following Sept. 11th.

A fitting and praiseworthy reversal of having "burned the topless towers of Ilium".

On the darkest night there are still the stars.

No doubt about it ... our precious gem is worth her troy weight in gold ...
Felicitations!

Marvellous! Richly deserved I have no doubt. Those Greek women take the prize every time.

Either that, or this is the first instance of the generation gap making me sound the more mature.

Peer group schmeer group!Hi, Keiva

Twenty years ago I had a classmate named Annya (on-ya).

To start a conversation with her during lunchtime, we would say "Annya (pause) ya got some lasagna on ya"...

As an audiophile, it still makes me chuckle!
