International Baba Day is here, and here’s my gift to you…

August 19th is Jonathan Boone’s birthday. Don’t know who he is? Read on…

Let’s start with a chuckle…gotten a decent bit of e-mail about the column. Thanks for everybody that did that. But ummm…I’m not sure how I feel about the fact that I got more e-mails about the picture than the column. From colleagues, strangers, and teachers.
This means two things–that I have an idea of what it is to be a woman in a patriarchy, and that the standards of male attractiveness have decreased since I was in high school.
But bump what you heard, I’ll take it!

And now, on the column, Rick James, and some nagging sentimentality…and profanity will be at an absolute minimum, Barbara. That minimum is not likely to be zero, though.
