  3. Hey, thanks! I had hoped that Frank J. would make it a regular feature over there. I don't know if he will or not; he didn't post any Thursday.

    My plan is to do some more for the next couple of days, post them here, and see what happens.

    It may be that this kind of humor gets old quick, and just hasn't gotten old for me ... yet. We'll see.

    But, again, thanks.
