- I found some years ago that anything can be repacked so as to hold one
- more item. I can't remember if I discovered this while packing the
- trunk or at the dollar-a-bag library sale.

- Yes, Seth considers pizza to be free.

-
- Damn nice t-shirt, designed by Garry Trudeau for Sally's 50th
- anniversary. Probably the classiest pizza t-shirt around.
-
- Alas, when i was visiting the CIA, (the one in Hyde Park, not the one
- in Foggy Bottom (or is that State--somebody please set me straight on
- this)) our guide suggested that a t-shirt, even from Sally's, wasn't
- quite the attire for their Mobil four-star restaurant. Some people.
- Our guide, btw, turned out to be a science fiction fan from Chicago
- (she worked Capricon con suites for five years) so we got the cook's
- tour, dinner at one of the Institute's restaurats, a second meal at a
- demonstration, lots of inside gossip, and were introduced as "friends
- from the midwest." "Life is large and the world is small," she said.
