Hi Michael,

 RH> Sounds like typical mild college fun.

 ML> I think I wasn't too dangerous in college, and most of my

Same here; but our college was in a very rural area and unless you had a
car or knew someone with one, there weren't too many chances to get off
and raise cain.


 ML> friends likewise. There was the kid who kept a pistol in his
 ML> room, for which he was warned, and who beat up his girlfriend,
 ML> say it, a career officer, I think infantry.

I don't think we've run into him.  Then, too, most of the folks we
associate with are MI and some of them can be on the strange side. (G)

 ML> a couple of the ringleaders (stars of the university theatrical
 ML> we were partying in and steal some wine. After that I wasn't so

 RH> Not so good; I hope they got properly chastised for it.

 ML> Nope. But we didn't have parties at that restaurant any more.

Probably shuld have been and sobered up the perpitrators somewhat.


 ML> In keeping with the above story - the violent kid becoming
 ML> career military - I will add that the top ringleader ended up
 ML> an attorney.

Defense or prosecuting?

 ML> I did have some more benign friends; they're generally
 ML> not worth writing about, though one of them just retired
 ML> as deputy chairman of the Fed; bright kid, nice, and
 ML> totally honest.

Most of my classmates ended up in jobs like teaching, ministry,
missions, medicine, etc--ones that benefit the community at large.  One
guy is an oral surgeon developed a proceedure that helped stop sleep
apnea caused by certain medical conditions.  As of 6 years ago (his
published reports), he'd had a 100% success rate.  I've not done
anything like that or gotten an advanced degree but have traveled quite
a bit and been able to do hundreds of hours (probably thousands,
actually) in non pay work that has helped others.

 ML> describing, who went out in search of giant milkshakes (or frappes)
 ML> (which are worse for me than booze) instead.
 RH> Even I'd have a major case of lactose intolerance with that--but
 RH> probably easier to deal with than a hangover. (G)

 ML> Generally haven't hung around with those who drink so
 ML> much that they get hangovers. There were dangerous
 ML> moments, when I was doing long runs in the theater
 ML> pit, but on the whole my friends are of moderately
 ML> moderate habits.

Same here but most of my friends don't drink anything stronger than
Coke, Pepsi or stuff like that. (G)  This going to UH games and getting
garlic fries, then over to Zippy's afterward has been fun; I think some
of the wait staff has thought we were nuts at times tho.

 RH> I'm trying to use up all that's in the freezer in the next
 RH> couple of months.

 ML> You could give Carol lessons in using up stuff in the freezer!

If she had to move every few years, she would learn.  We had thought in
summer of 03 that we would be leaving in March of 04 so I started
"eating down" the freezer.  Then we got extended for 2 years & again, in
late 04 stated lowering the amount of food Id built up in the
freezer--only to be extended to August of this year.  It should be empty
by early July.

 ML>       Title: Swiss Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
 ML>  Categories: Live!, Cookies, Chocolate
 ML>       Yield: 18 Servings

Better not make this when I'm in a chocolate craving mode; none would be
left to serve. (G)
