Well Penni, congratulations indeed. Silly me, I thought you surely were already published. What took them so long? One question though, why wait until it's published, let's get cranking on those letters to the editor so they can appear in the same issue with the article. All the best, with many advances to follow.

Penni, I and the rest of the denizens here at DAR are absolutely dying to read your published article. I'm gladdened to hear that I was in some way an impetus or inspiration. We must arrange another 3D get-together in honor of your publishedness (another of my made up words for this auspicious occasion). When the multiple missives of accolades and praise go to the letters-to-the-editor section, I fear they will be heavily weighted from the environs Silicon Valley and San Francisco, but then most times they are, because those areas are heavily weighted with readers, such are demographics. Of course, there will be a letter or two from Italy and Texas and Wisconsin, I am sure, as well as from other places not represented here on the Thread of Rambi. When Jeff proffered his guess that you were pregnant, I LOLd. Janice is right: Men ARE dumb about things like that. <vvvbg> Ooops, I think I just said something sexist. I'm sorry, Jeff. Really, I am. I'll have to wash out my keyboard with champagne. Bubbles are bubbles, Mrs. Olsen. BTW, my Texas friend I mentioned last summer just moved back to Houston, Texas, for good. Even though she never lost her delightful accent or her disdain for California cuisine and other dreaded things she referred to benignly but scathingly as California stuff, she became unwittingly and hopelessly Californianized in some areas. For instance, she was aghast to learn that there are no recycling programs in her area of Texas. She is in the process of spearheading a recycling awareness movement. She'll always be another one of us, now that she's lived here, but I'd never say that to her. She'd just die if she knew I thought of her in that way. Holly

Miss Penni, In my haste in my post to you, I neglected to honor your request asking what my guess had been as to what your great tidings might be. My guess was that you had murdered your minivan mechanic, in a manner most clever and fitting, and buried his sorry body in your basement. I surmised that you had covered his miserable remains with your commodious, well-stocked wine cellar which, of course, would never again be moved. Perfect! Well, perhaps I was projecting. Holly
