"I am aware of the condition of neither the city of Albuquerque nor of the Harlem Globetrotters; however, I am displeased with the current state of journalistic integrity, and as such I cannot entrust you with this harpsichord."

And the frightening thing is, in its inexplicable context, it made sense.

In fact, it is the ONLY possible statement that could have made sense in that context. You are my favorite raconteur... did I mention that I adore you wildly?

Well, you'll simply have to find time to come see us! And we'll be in Ellicott City for a few days over the holidays -- perhaps we can slip away for lunch or coffee in there :-)

There is not enough of this kind of humor in my life.

An example of why I am deeply delighted to know you (both!). That and the fact that you can be caught using a t-shirt for a pillow case. And that you can apparently feed legions(or just yourself for a goodly long time) on coffee, peanut butter, bread, and cheese - without succumbing to the food-doldrums.

"If it weren't for my horse I would never have spent that year in college."

Now I can add your quote to the above, making a small number of quotes whose context will haunt me for the rest of my life.

The amusement never ends! ;)
