Send me good names to use for my emails to the department. I've recently started a tradition of closing all my emails to them with cool names. So far I've used "your loving schoolchild, Beauregard," Lester, and Winifred. I lean toward old names like Heathcliff and Warfield, but I'm not totally opposed to redneck names if they're really good like Marcel or Clovis.

Speaking of Marcel and Clovis, it occurs to me that some of you might not know who Jerry Clower is. I mentioned him to Peter the other day and he had no idea. Do you? *winces*

Herford was my grandmother's oldest brother and probably mildy retarded, though he did attend Junior college. He played the fiddle and painted clown portraits. His third wife slowly poisoned him and even after he found out he insisted on staying with her. He died from being "sick" - that's what country people call it when you willingly let your wife poison you to death - and left my grandmother a broken gun in his will.

Fascinating!
