She added<br />that "Animal Farm" was still her <br />favorite Orwell book, especially<br />after having read "1984"", and I'd<br />add, after her role of Mrs.Hudson <br />in Bradbury's Farenheit 451 that <br />she played in our Community Theater~~~<br /><br />Applause~~~Encore~~~Encore~~~<br />Smiling,<br />On Watch~~~<br />"Let's Roll" <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-47928793969263870252022-04-05T18:46:32.118-04:002022-04-05T18:46:32.118-04:004/5/22

What a Blast
from the Future, D...4/5/22<br />Holy Smoke!<br />What a Blast<br />from the Future, Dip!<br />Nearing 6 years since you posted<br />this Orwellian 'Gem'! Smile~~~<br />Funny thing, last night told wife<br />I might shame some of those 80+ <br />Welcome Back commenters for not<br />being as active as I hoped they<br />would be... then thought maybe I<br />should throttle back, so as not<br />to steal the limelight... I must<br />admit, not sure how much I recall<br />of the outcome re: the above post,<br />but do remember using your posts as<br />as teaching tools, for my daughter.<br />The Prof. I referenced, was terrific,<br />he made a special appeal too, to get<br />her into an advanced Fed.Govt. Class<br />but her major was Micro and minor in<br />BioInformatics, Sooo, that was it...<br />Tomorrow, We have our scheduled<br />weekly call, and I've put this<br />post, and authors, at the top of<br />our agenda, displacing her TAX<br />RETURN, to the No. 2 slot...<br />Btw, Tks for memories, and perhaps<br />too, keeping me out of the looney<br />bin and/or or the Ol'Sailors Home~~~;)<br />Hope all is well.<br />G-d Bless You, and<br /> your fine Family,<br /><br />On Watch~~~<br /><br />Mind the Tar Pit's<br /><br />"Let's Roll"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-56444785046705362812016-08-24T21:29:26.500-04:002016-08-24T21:29:26.500-04:00"In Front of Your Nose,"...happened to r..."In Front of Your Nose,"...happened to re-read this gem, and thought it worthwhile to mention." --WLA<br /><br />Thank You! It is indeed "worthwhile", and a copy will be headed into my Daughter's Fed Govt. class with her tomorrow. Great Reminder, and eye-opener!
