When my Google account was born
I couldn't use tqnews, because it was already taken, so I had to use my name without vowels trrytrvrs.

Dialogue from "The Razor's Edge" (1984)
Oh, Larry, you've had your fling now. For your own sake, I beg of you to come home with us. I wouldn't make you happy if I did. You see, what you forget is that I want to learn as passionately as... Well, as Gray, for example, wants to make a lot of money. I came over here because I was restless, and because my mind was muddled. I came looking for the answers to a lot of questions. Some of them I've found. Others I may never find. But I can't stop now. Oh, I know it sounds vague and trivial compared with... Well, compared with everything that's happening at home today. And I know I'm being very difficult. But I can't stop now, Isabel. I just can't! But what would happen to America if everyone did as you're doing? The answer to that is that everyone doesn't feel as I do. Fortunately for themselves, mos...
WIEDER DIE BILDUNGSTRAUMEN
Her last airline trip spoiled by airline intransigence. Takeoff from the Moose Hill soccer pitch. New tenants moving into 6 Sampson St in Spencer as we are picked up there. The batterboard in the aircraft froze up prior to NYC takeoff and no solutions were deemed acceptable by their guidelines. See you in court! Final insult to them was being forced by protocol to serve us a meal (in first class) before deplaning us and returning to Moose Hill for takeoff. Bill's work on house and aircraft were not up to code. Oy!

Me and Billy McGee
Billy Mack Thu 11:46 AM You sent May 27 at 11:46 AM Roger contacted me wanting to meet with me over some content I posted to Facebook disparaging Kenny. He was very hazy over who alerted him to the supposed insult or where, when or what it consisted of except that it was about Larry Toomey helping your cousin with his SATs after he'd failed twice to meet Columbia's standards. I tried to get enough information to be able to find and remove anything remotely like that, but he kept insisting on meeting with me personally. I finally blew him off, but still would like to remove whatever was upsetting him. He told Don Beauchamp he had learned of it after some recent family gathering. Do you have any idea what he's talking about? I'm eager to erase any perceived compromising posting, but I don't have a prayer unless I know where to begin. Best regards to you and the family. Hope you've sailed through the Covid crisis that's finally winding down. Say hello to yo...
