I saw "The Vagina Monologues." To me, it seems like the perfect play to appeal to college sophmores, who think it very daring, when, in fact, it is very sophmoric (and perhaps sophoric as well). The fuss made about it eludes me, except that I know people enjoy saying "vagina." I guess it appeals to adolescent in everyone.

Oh well, maybe the next hurricane season will finish the job and the rest of the country can wash its hands of that damned city.

Dear Rod:
I think of New Orleans very much; I lived off Bayou St. Johns and then in Gretna, but I worked all the Florida parishes into Mississippi.
I enjoyed it all: from Monkey Hill-with the children-to the Morning Call, the Petit Dejeuer and the Fish Market and of course, Zulu landing at Eneads Plaza to start their winding march through the city. I even paraded with the Eureka Band, we did ramble in days long gone.
Fasting: Tofu and Sambal Oelek can get old fast. Try shopping a Greek, a Turkish or an Indian store. Most will have recipes.
Sincerely, J RDittbrenner

That's a rather mean-spirited joke Charles.
I think this is great!
