Irene Cassidy is Andy Amago . It was a joke, an inside one.
I'll let it pass then as such.
How long have you been a list member? Some people lurk for years before
surfacing, some never surface, some surface often, under various guises,
some are so narcissistic that they assume their surfacing IS the list. I
don't remember seeing any of your posts prior to a month or two ago. If
new, Welcome. I'm the officially non-official Welcoming Agent.
I *am* new. Thank you for the welcome. I have to admit, though, that am
somewhat overwhelmed by the volume of things here. Paralyzed for the moment
between the two equally unpalatable choices of reading everything and
deleting everything, I may soon run screaming for the silence of the hills.
Were you named after Hopalong?
Not according to my mother, who, under intense interrogation over a period
of years, never brought forth any more intriguing answer than: But it's a
nice name, dear. My father just said: Ask your mother.
Are you affiliated with any subversive organizations? -- like universities
or the Democratic Party or Massachusetts? Do you believe in rock n roll?
How about Hip Hop, Hopalong? (sorry)
I believe I am a subversive organization in myself, but then who doesn't. To
the uninformed eye I am a thin 50-year-old with a querulous voice. In
earlier days I had a spouse and a child, but no more. Just now I'm
sabbatical, supposedly writing a book, although that is a subject we shall
avoid. I used to teach middle schoolers English Lit before ill-health drove
me to other pastures.
Where were you when Kennedy was killed? In your mother's dread? In Dallas?
I was a 2nd grader living overseas in the Congo at the time with missionary
parents.
Is Rappahannock a name you gleaned from the Legend of Sleepy Hollow?
Rappahannock County (motto: A Scenic Masterpiece Made Perfect By Nature) may
be found at: http://www.rappahannockcountyva.gov/page2/page2.html. I believe
we were found to have a population of about 7,000 in the last census.
nosy bastard
I would never have put it so rudely.
Thanks again for the welcome.
Sincerely, CD
