Don't click on the links for security's sake. You can check with someone of authority but my recommendation is that you delete the message.

She speaks five (or seven?) languages, including Farsi -- and that's how she was introduced to me.<BR/><BR/>Wendy, that logic works for me. I worked for a man who'd been married three times. He used to say that he couldn't help it if the women he married couldn't handle commitment!Linda Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816794362786044423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-8200860252852183642007-06-24T17:15:00.000-06:002007-06-24T17:15:00.000-06:00Yes, Ava had three famous husbands, all rather div...Yes, Ava had three famous husbands, all rather diverse if you think about it. Besides Artie, Mickey Rooney and of course Sinatra.

Don't have the makings for a mint julep, but an ice cold beer sounds goods.<BR/><BR/>Jo, I'm guessing that smash is a tennis term. Not sure about NCO. I saw a comment (at Rex's blog?) about it, but I'll ask Don once he comes in.

Tennis, perhaps?<BR/><BR/>Also, how is NCO "below grade one"?<BR/><BR/>Can you please let Donald know that I have tried to post two different comments on two different occasions at his blog and neither went through. <BR/><BR/>I particularly wanted to compliment Donald on Saturday's blog. He ARTfully connected clues and answers that at first seemed to be unrelated to create a very entertaining and enlightening exposition. <BR/><BR/>So to both of you: Keep blogging. <BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>JoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-44876709572085778202007-06-24T14:01:00.000-06:002007-06-24T14:01:00.000-06:00Artie Shaw?
