Hi Merle, Just to share with you my excitement of the moment. I have just received email that I have been admitted to the Creative Writing Dept. major for a second BA degeee. It is good news as I was afraid as Over 60 student I wouldn't get in again. Anyway some famous people Anne Rice, Jim Garvey, Annette Benning are graduates of this class at SFSU. Geez it will be hard work. I hope I can do well. Its hard to write well or reveal your innermost thoughts to anyone much less a book. Anyway it won't be until August 06.

That's mean you find in your inbox: 200 "Cannot deliver email" messages 50 "GET ME OFF THIS LIST!" messages 50 "Finally, a NICE topic!" messages 15 successful unsub messages 5 "Why is xxx sending me deaththreats?" messages 4 emails I can't understand. (Get the internet out of the Alzhiemer units!) 25 recipes for 'tomato sandwich' and 4 for possum 75 mass unsubs from British cousins offended by our bad spelling and hideous cuisine (it's the American schools, guys!) 40 emails blaming me for everything. 1 sub message 1 email trying to find a ancestor .... in Scotland. 1 mass-emailed funeral announcement for the IRA spy on the list who died from boredom like the last one. 1 email from rootsweb 'help desk' claiming someone claims I insulted him/her. So I say we all join the Unionist list and post our favorite Scotch Irish recipes!!
