Neo should have saved it for tomorrow morning or stuck around tonite. X and I will be bored with it by the time he shows up. <g> Which reminds me, I had occasion to give some further thought to "heebie-jeebies." I drove yesterday to a neighborhood strip mall and parked almost directly in front of the shop I was visiting. As I walked the twenty feet to the store, I passed a punky looking guy using the pay phone out front. He gave me a look that gave me the heebie-jeebies. Just after I got into the store, I heard a car alarm and immediately went to the window to check my car, which was fine. On my way home, I reflected on the feeling, which is something I experience so rarely that my encounter was an event. I couldn't recall the last time I felt even remotely threatened by someone I encountered. I'm a very trusting person and I am not discomfited by people and situations that would cause anxiety to many. It got me to thinking about why anyone would find contempt in my expression of feeling threatened by certain attitudes and practices. I wonder if the word "anxiety" would have caused the same reaction. Does the use of slang change the tone from anxiety, which would normally arouse sympathy, to something that connotes contempt? Still don't understand that. I suppose that's better addressed to Neo, as well. Here's something for you. I found the particulars on Letterman and Ashcroft. EMAIL THIS STORY Ashcroft to Make 'Late Show' Appearance Thu, Apr 4, 2002 05:57 PM PMT LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - United States Attorney General John Ashcroft will make his first appearance on CBS' "The Late Show" with David Letterman next week. Since February, Letterman has repeatedly aired a taped clip of Ashcroft singing "Let the Eagle Soar." The Attorney General apparently wrote the song himself and sang it at a visit to a North Carolina theological seminary. Before Ashcroft was appointed attorney general by President George W. Bush in 2000, he served in Missouri public office, including terms as Missouri governor (1984-92) and as the U.S. Senator from Missouri (1994-2000). Now, if only Oprah would call. Ashcroft will appear on "The Late Show" on Tuesday, April 9.
