Be careful, if something goes wrong send us your safe-word, which is

Trump Is A Coward and Traitor

I know, it is a long safe-word but all the shorter ones are taken.

Did you happen to get their names? No sense taking unnecessary chances...

So, from your moniker, I'm assuming you went to Cal? So did I. And coolest of all, my daughter is interviewing for a post-doc there on Thursday. And we frequently speak for 5 or even 6 minutes.

When I lived in Atlanta my best friend was third generation Auburn graduate. His son was already committed to Auburn. I always went to his house for the Iron Bowl, and wore an Alabama shirt. All in good fun. Obviously I survived.

I went to Cal and my husband went to Stanford. Our first Big Game together was in 1982 - THE PLAY! We had a wager on the game - and with four seconds left, Stanford was in the lead - until the 7 laterals happened and the trombone player got run over by the guy with the ball.

My daughter did her under-grad and her PhD on the East Coast, so I would be delighted if she came back to the west for her post doc work. We shall see.

I lived in California for 35 years before moving to Arkansas 12 years ago. Calguy was the first screen name I ever used when the internet started up and I've used ever since and forevermore. I lived in in the Stockton-Lodi area and used love taking my son to the bay area year after year to watch college football. You'll hate me for this but we held season tickets to Stanford. We loved being at the Big Game 13 years in a row. The Cal-Stanford games were always the best no matter what record the teams had each year. Always loved going Berkley in the 70's for the street crafts and artists. Berkely is truly a magical town, even for a Stanford fan. Thanks for your comnent.
