Many thanks, mj!
I get a lot of pleasure from visiting this forum. At different points during the past year, I had been visiting Dave's ESL Cafe (and still do, a little) but I find it to be a rather hostile place, with the usual hard-core skeptics ready to pounce and "kill the messenger" when one doesn't personally pass their strict acid tests. I find this place much more hospitable, lively, and illuminating -- often due to Sir Duke, and several other regular posters.
However, as I understand it, His Dukedom is buried under book deadlines, and after a flurry of job interviews in recent days (past and future) I will be busily testing the waters at various schools around town in the coming weeks. (Wish me luck!)
In other words, we may become and less less present in the coming days and weeks... (I really can't speak for Raoul)
I am American, 52, going on 86 (if you know what I mean...)
Keep posting, I'll keep watching and opening my fat mouth from time-to-time.
Keep cool... F
