Would it have been any difference if I had come in wearing a green and gray striped shirt a la Steve and carrying a baby, SR? ---

Hey, I’m not the one with the fixation on Steve. Frankly, he scares me too. But good try at reducing me to estrogen. ---

Just for the record, I’d like to point out that the above statements are not completely true… I am NOT a pessimist. > [@](#): > > But good try at reducing me to estrogen. ## You know, I keep getting a weird image from this quote; the NYC meeting. “Hi, psy, I’m Eve, this is Ike, that’s manny, and the pinkish-yellow puddle dripping off the chair over there is SwimmingRiddles.” Battles are won in nuance. ---

Woohoo! I was going to post something sarcastic to get y’all to start up again, but this works too. So where the hell is Bricker?? ---

No, no, no, Fly. I only turn into estrogen when I spy a full grown man playing with a kid. And if anyone brings a child to a dopers meeting on a Saturday night, that pretty much ruins the mystic of paternalism that is at the root of my estrogen-glob affliction. It’s not that they HAVE a kid, it’s that they relate well to that kid. ---

After lunch is fine, but I gotta scamper out of here at 3:00 EST to get to the pre-school I volunteer at.

Sorry, folks. I have meetings all day today. I am fortunate that my job gives me enough flexibility to be a steady contributor here, and do these puzzles… but sometimes duty calls, and light of the fact that they sign my paycheck… I’m kinda obligated. 🙂 - Rick ---
