Hey, Jill Whatever, do you post on the Runners World Message Board? I saw a post on there (re running in the heat) with initials J-G. I forgot the middle initial, but if it were you, I’d have a clue to your middle name.

bdgr, don’t you mean, “…or tho I’m told?”

Reminds me of a poem I wrote (it was published in ‘Boy’s Life’ - I’m so proud 😃 )

The ‘Thunder God’ went for a ride  
Upon his favorite philly,  
“I’m Thor”, he cried,  
The horse replied,  
“You forgot your thaddle, thilly!”

I think you’re probably an redheaded siren with a Jayne Mansfield bod, dazzling sapphire eyes, purring voice, diaphanous black negligee, and an unquenchable desire to paint the town red when ol’ whatshisname is away on a company trip.

Close?

I don’t think he ever spelled it McGruder, but it has been more than 25 (!) years since it happened.

Thor had his way with a maiden, but he felt guilty about not introducing himself.

So the next day he came to visit

I’m **Thor** he cried  
_Your_ thor she replied  
I’m so thor I can hardly pith

I changed my screen name momentarily to “Jill Magruder” but changed it back to “JillGat.” All the Magruder posts reverted to JillGat. Sorry for the confusion.
