Woodstock, there is a legendary tale in my family wherein my stepdaughter placed a dried bean into the ear of her younger brother as a “hearing aid” (trip to doctor required for extraction). Given that, I have no trouble understanding the radish in the nose trick.

Jim, you really should spring for the full HDTV reception. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen Jean Enersen’s neck in high def. We went HD a year ago, and become engrossed in high def aquarium video that they show as filler on an HD channel.

You have been busy! Thanks so much for the shout out. Now, the editing begins on last year’s NaNo book. ;-)

Have your kids never learned the joy of olive fingers? My cousins and I literally, still, end up with four on each hand. But then there was that year my cousin got the radish stuck in his nose…we just won’t go there.

I’ll be interested to see how the strengths thing turns out if you have time for posting that. I may have use soon (fingers crossed) for boosting my people management skills.

And for heaven’s sake…at least watch Lost or something on that new tv. The “island” is gorgeous on my circa 1998 TV; I can’t imagine it in HD-ish.

Shhh! If I refered to them as anything but “crudites”, my kids’anti-vegetable defense gene might kick in and we’d only be feeding them pasta and cheese.

You can never be too careful with those deadly leaf piles!

By the way, “crudite”, is that a derivative of “crud”, or a devotee thereof?
