    Thank you dear Mollina. I like Rubicon and Burlesque but Chris doesn't "get" them. Apparently they are of no significance and are, therefore, un-useable.
    The secret is that it is really going to be OUR kitty when Mary leaves. OoooH!

    Seriously??! How simply wonderful!! In that case, you really need a name that Chris will get. Let's try some more:
    Tonka
    ...
    I think I like Tonka.

    Tread
    Dash(board)
    Meer(kat)
    Rev
    4 by 4
    Fries
    Data
    Bjork (I have this memory of us listening to Bjork in his Golf, driving home from his PD apartment one night. "I don't think I like her," you said.)(But we also listened to Robert Miles and to Gorecki, so I'll add them to the list as well)
    R. Miles
    Gorecki
    :)

    I think we may go with Earnest. It was half Mary's idea, half mine. And I like it A LOT.

    That was not one of my suggestions, but it will do. Earnest? or Ernest? I like the former--good quality. Strong name. Very grey.

Can someone please explain why my Quicktime isn't working? Anyone with prophetic awareness of my little Atlas, none so old but recently behaving so?

because you were all wondering what I'm writing my dissertation on, here's a brief synopsis of my 'research context': When James Macpherson published his Fragments of Ancient Poetry in 1760, he went to great lengths to make the Fragments appear to be authentic remains of an ancient, heroic oral tradition. His reasons for this were largely political, and as such, influenced the content of the epics themselves. As an attempt to establish a particularly Scottish identity, the poems were quite effective. However, to do so required both a simplification and a manipulation of traditional mythology. Stripped of anagogical significance, the Ossian epics more or less represented an Enlightenment version of history, tradition, and mythic heritage. The stories themselves were changed by their very purpose and in turn changed the manner of representing myth in future narratives. Moreover, the emphasis on the Ossian epics as authentic tales from the past, as ‘fragments,’ served

Kathryn, do NOT be jealous of me going to the opera. It was weird. They were wearing these bulky animal costumes and clonking boots which might have been okay except that their footsteps drowned out the sound of the orchestra (Oh look! A band!). The plot was supposed to be about the circle of life or something deep, but it really seemed to be more about animals getting it on. It was an opera, though, so plot really shouldn't matter as long as the music is good. It wasn't. I mean, it wasn't BAD - but most of the singing was monotonous, the orchestration was unremarkable, and I hope to heaven no one from the production reads this. It would be so disheartening! They were all skillful - I just wasn't interested in the piece itself. But then, I have only ever seen very classical sorts of pieces. The Marriage of Figaro. Samson and Delilah. And I was listening to Puccini before leaving the house! What do you do? But then again, I was distracted by my seating companion. Five so
