I suspect Christy was feeling the stress of the end-o-the-term crunch and
needed to kick a dawg.  I suspect the e-note she responded to was the
first dawg she came upon.  We all have a bad day now and again.  I've had
lot's of them this year.  I've been real grumpy.  Why just the other day
Brother Carl accused me of being the victim of someone having put pepper
on my wheaties.  I tried taping the corners of my mouth to the corners of
my eyes and all that did was to drag my eyes down.  I haven't kicked any
dawgs yet but I've been sorely tempted to kick a few administrators,
though.				--stephen
