i will send a decent cigar to the first person who can name the jounalist who used to end his columns with "dip your pen in sunshine and write a letter to-----"

please don't ask where that thought came from.

what's the "blink" command?
no winners so far, but keep those cards and letters coming.

I don't know who the journalist was, but they were quoting a song by
Kay and Sue Werner and Sammy Mysels by that name, a popular tune in
1942 or so.

you sound like you are in the running.

do what toby and i do, scroll your memory starting with A putting in different names.

sometimes when you put your mind on search you will have an epiphany, not a religious one.
