really enjoyed breaking, but it sure made a name for him in 70's radio news circles. Got a lot of big job offers but declined them so he could move his family back to Arkansas.

Wow, that is a cool story. Really cool. :thumbs_up

I just wrote a "poem" (are Greek choruses poems? @_@) and I think it's pretty good...only because I've been so inspired...

But what I'm proud of more is the fact that I recently learned how to play "Having Trouble Sneezing" with two hands (wow) perfectly on my keyboard. So much fun. Easy, though. :p

I did right here in that old thread with my sonnet: http://www.online-literature.com/for...ad.php?t=25157

Thanks!

wow, can I have your autograph? or your hubbie's?

Lily Adams, that's a really nice poem!

here's my latest boast.. well, it's not really a boast, more something to celebrate:
my Beany Bear (boyfriend) has been invited to a job interview in Berlin. It's a job with a security policy consulting company (er, whatever). They're kinda desperate to find an assistant for one of the bosses, a politics professor.
There'll be an interview tomorrow at 5 p.m. and an "assessment centre" on Wednesday. He took the train today so he'd have time to prepare.
I'm so proud of my Beany. After having his applications returned for 6 months, this is a real break. Knock on wood for him! (ouch, leave my head alone!)

That's really good news. Good luck to him!
Will you tell us if he made it?

I ran one mile (1.609 km) in 5 minutes and 32 seconds about two months ago. Improved my previous record by 20 seconds!

Wow, that is outstanding. Are you on a track team? The best I ever did was 6 minutes even when i was about 21. Breaking six minutes is so hard, and you did it by almost half a minute. Dori are you a gal or a guy, if you don't mind me asking?
