    I was among the worst students in middle and high school.

    Friends and I avoided school as much as possible. Was not so much that we were off drugging and partying. Spent most of the time in the woods with the newts and frogs and turtles. Studying the wilds on our own. I still have my nature ledger, which holds our observations

    Funny. All of us had a bad reputation, but we all ended up going to grad school and getting advanced degrees.

    Treat yourself to the audio version!

    People like to deduct about 50 IQ points from everyone with a buttermilk and buttermilk (US Southern) accent - and so the punditry NEVER EVER see him coming!

    Nine minutes and thirty seconds into this eight hour book I'm well and truly hooked.

    It would only be about a 6 hour book were it to be read by somebody from a New England state - but then you would lose much in the translation...... ;)

    Looking to find a used copy of the Kennedy book. Sounds very interesting. Audio would be difficult for me. I spend my audio time with Joan Jett!

    Bisco, chasing was your mistake.

    You are supposed to let us chase you!

    I knew of the day but not the date.
    Never knew about the Li'l Abner connection, either - despite being old enough to have read them.

    Ah.....comics.
