And now.......one more time........


Dear Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin Emeritus, Sir:

So many, many times, you have gone beyond speculation and have actually flat-out accused me of being an English major.

English majors have to be so careful because they are so often besmirched. And somewhere along the line, you got it in your head that I am an English major.

What was it anyway?

Was it the story I told about my English teacher friend who lied about her job when she met a guy she liked? But if she did not like him, she told him that she was an English teacher so he would just move down another barstool and leave her alone. (You thought that was me I bet. But it wasn't. Really. It was my friend.)

If I were not so darned lazy, I would dig through these archives and find all those times you set your traps and tried to catch me......

You even posted a cartoon making fun of English majors partying. Ohhhhhhh, I remember that cartoon. It showed English majors having such a good time at their party, playing "Pin the Apostrophe in the Right Place." (Ya know, when you posted that one, I probably should have tried to gather up a few English majors around here and invite them to a party and then I would invite you, too.....just so the English majors could play "Spin the Science Major." How would you have liked that.)

But now, here I am, in the wee hours of the morning -- unusual for me to be awake so late -- here thinking about how henceforth you will be known as Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin Emeritus, Sir. And so.......

I have decided the time has come to tell you that even though you were a science major, the fact that you were also a newspaper editor somehow made that narrator who lives in my head see you as being kind of like our own Lou Grant, watching over things and taking care of stuff.

And I am saying thank you. (Yes. I know Ed Asner is too old now to play you in "TOTV: The Movie" but that's OK. We'll find somebody.)

And now, guess what else I am going to tell you........

You were right.

You won.

A fun run.

Done.

Well done, Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin Emeritus, Sir.

I would give you a A+ well written
