Wislon,
I think that copying War & Peace by hand would be enough to drive anyone to divorce. I have to get back to your Eagle Owl swoops down on dachsund post.

Thanks Blanche
As soon as I read your comment I remembered, but up till then I'd been racking my brains with no success. Speaking as someone who was confused within hours of starting War and Peace (and didn't finish it) I would hate to have to copy it out. I'm just a Gone with the Wind sort of guy.

It was Tolstoy, who made that remark about unhappy families, Wislon
and from what I learned in class, he knew whereof he spoke. His wife, poor soul, had to copy all the versions of War and Peace by hand. No wonder she disowned him in the end. Congrats on the football win, annoying know-it=all 12 year old or not. I'm sure he'll figure out by the time he's 50 or so that he might not know everything.

The "wislon" should be "felon" was a great ending. Very creative!!
