    He does often refer to me as E.T.
    Do you remember the Glen Campbell song, "Where's the Playground, Susan?"

    I had to live through that!

    My mother-in-law's name is Donnie Lula Mae. I never thought of Florida as "South", but apparently she was raised Deep South.

    The other day we saw a brag sticker on the back of someone's giant SUV. You know the kind...The name of the kid and the chosen sport that they excel (or suck) at.

    The kids name, I kid you not, was Godly. (I think they don't know how sacrilegious it could be considered by some.)

    But can you imagine having a big brother named Godly?

    "My brother thinks he's God!"

    "Well, as a matter of fact, I AM!"

    p.s. (My son has never had the "honor" of a brag sticker on my car, because I don't want any average stranger knowing all the names of my kids and where they can find them on any given Saturday--at the ballpark. And then with a kid named God?? please.)

    Well at least anybody standing next to him is clean. 'Specially if his last name is Ness.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    Down in the Pine Bluff school system there's a young lady named "Sh'iThead", pronounced "sha-THEED..."

    My friend the history teacher down there was calling roll the first day of class when he came to that one, and stopped to ask, "Miss Smith, just how do you pronounce your name?"
