Kat I went down today to have lunch with a friend from Memphis who is now Dean at a Jesuit university in Austin (St. Edwards). It was 20 miles one way! Talk about feeling unsafe! These folks here know only one driving speed, 70+!! Anyway, it was sunny and 70 degrees, so I took a scenic way back. BTW, looks like I will have several teaching gigs coming up. Right now I am so excited! Joyce and I are going to look for a new computer for me. We are going to look at Gateway. Also, folks, I was just notified that the St. Johns list owners have decided to deactivate all archives pre-1999. Anyone needing to search such archives should do so ASAP. I have written the coordinator inquiring as to any methods for accessing said archives after deactivation. Bobby
