D R O P O U T S
by Ed Fournier and Barbara Schulak
When I turned 40 three years ago
my body went to pot. I gained twenty
pounds and everything started to ache.
The worst part was my brain ran out of
RAM. I found that for every bit of new
information that clawed its way in, at
least one bit of old info fell out. Is
this what happens to everyone when
they hit the big 4-0?
Well, folks, apparently not. Ed
Fournier, who has been making up word
puzzles at a breakneck pace lately,
just informed me that his age is just
about DOUBLE mine. I don't know
whether to be en- or dis- couraged.
Oh well, at least this has kept me
from dwelling on the fact that I'm as
old as Paul McAleer, Johnny Harris
(LOADSTAR authors) and Macaulay Culkin
(Home Alone star) all mashed together.
Not only that, they'll make more than
$5 million more than I make this year!
DROPOUTS by Ed Fournier. It's a
good puzzle for your printer. Sorry
about having a mid-life crisis while
introducing it.

[DAVE'S LAST WORD:] Forty? Forty's not
old. I just turned 55. I'm at a speed
limit. If my calculations are correct,
Fender is now 57 or 58. Methinks he
gripethed too soon!
