I could almost die happy, but I have to go to New York City in June first. Then again, maybe I shouldn't tempt fate.<BR/><BR/>Sorkin! Yes. Undisputed king of great lines: "you can't handle the truth!" Unfortunately I don't watch TV or I might enjoy <I>West Wing.</I> I'll remember your mantra regarding thievery. Makes sense to me.<BR/><BR/>I knew you'd like hot Tang. I've been wondering how to make money off that little trick. To be honest, it was a happy accident at the City Hall water cooler when I hit the red tab one day instead of the blue, but it seems to me that most great inventions began as accidents, like Post-it Notes and penicillin.

Unfortunately, I can't take credit for "with the heat of a nova," either. I lifted it from the character Toby Ziegler on a <I>West Wing</I> episode penned by Aaron Sorkin. Because if you're going to steal, steal outright, and steal from the best, I always say. (Among other gems Sorkin wrote for Toby was his remark regarding a salad he was eating, "which, by the way, you could pour barbecue sauce all over and it would still taste like the ground.")<BR/><BR/>And lest I forget: You were right. The hot Tang <I>rocks.</I>Shepcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435989618782168347noreply@blogger.com
