You are certainly quite the veteran on this forum, although I see you now have some help monitoring the kids to keep them from flaming each other.

Oh! It just dawned on me that there's a big list of "moderators" who aren't! Dave was testing something and put them all up there, but they aren't real. Least that's what he told me. ;)

Guess you'll have to spank Dave.

Hi Larry:
I thought it would be more an autobiography and was looking forward to reading more of your experiences. I can understand the hammock though. It sure is nice to be retired although somehow my days are filling up quickly with an active granddaughter.

Glad that you are keeping us honest Lorikeet.

Sally, when I read the list of places where you've been and taught, and considering the many wonderful posts you've put up here at Dave's, I would think the interesting autobiography would come from you. Why don't you put your granddaughter down for a nap now and then and work on your memoirs?

I wish! She gets up at 7 and doesn't go to bed until 11. Wish I had her energy. Memoirs are done, just waiting on the publisher.
