In the present, I post the completed grid, although sometimes a clue or two are all you need to get through a roadblock.<BR/><BR/>I graduated three years ago...what a relief to write blogs instead of research papers!

It drove me crazy, and felt harder than most Tuesday puzzles. It felt more like a Wednesday or Thursday puzzle, ya know?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I had given up on it due to one funky, unresolved part. I decided to google the answer and I found your blog. There was the answer. The heavens opened up and I heard angels sing. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>And now back to writing my research paper. /resume life<BR/><BR/>RobinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-25383810852714763632007-06-05T22:16:00.000-06:002007-06-05T22:16:00.000-06:00rock rabbit, I'm with you on the feeling old stuff...rock rabbit, I'm with you on the feeling old stuff.

I like the "down home" friendly feel that you create here. You have a natural ability to encourage and bring people together -- even through a blog. Great job!!<BR/><BR/>Glad you had a good trip and hope your shoulder gets feeling better!<BR/><BR/>Oh -- I had the Velvet Undergroud album -- many years after it came out....didn't remember Nico though.<BR/><BR/>Is that the one that "Femme Fatale" was on?

Well, I have to admit that I probably wore ECRU hosiery a few times during my "fashion plate" years. Yeeeek! Now I try to avoid them (pantyhose) at all costs! Funny you should mention The Virginian. I spent the day in the reading room of the Wyoming State American Heritage Center, and while waiting for my requested materials to be pulled, I checked out an interesting display on Owen Wister -- mostly photographs, but also the desk where he kept his 15 travel diaries, including the one upon which he based his novel, The Virginian, described as "the prototypical Western novel". My undergraduate student assistant, born and raised in Wyoming, had never heard of the book, or the 4 movies, or the 60's era TV series!

I think it may have been a graduation requirement at my college to have the album or a tape of it. Mind you, I was seven months old when the album came out—like I said, it's a classic.Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433254398377357737noreply@blogger.com
