Was nicely surprised by the mail today, the coffee mug arrived. That's
fast, guys. Really nice looking mug and I'm almost going to hate using
it. <G>

Since we sold out in under 24 hours, I only did one mailing for the mugs.
They went USPS first class. If you don't get yours in the next day or three,
yelp.

Me either. I was concentrating on ordering the anthology (YES!!), and
forgot to get the mug.

Is that Trouble with a capital T, and that rhymes with P, and that stands
for Poole?

Liz: Those are references to "The Music Man," a popular play and film
from the 1960s.

These are riffs from Meredith Wilson's "The Music Man". Musical
instrument salesman Harold Hill (played excellently by Robert Preston
in the movie) convinces the skeptical citizens of River City, Iowa, ca
1910, that they should support a youth band (and buy instruments for
them) by convincing them the presence of a pool hall in their
community was the first step on the road to moral degredation. If you
haven't already seen this, find a video - excellent evocation of
period, nice music.
