Well, that's all folcs laugh . I hope you enjoyed it!!! I certainly had fun writing it.

This part was my favorite of all 4 parts -- and it is dedicated to Annie and anyone else who has lived/still lives in one of those "boring states with a lot of vowels." (I have so many stories about that... yes, people have actually confused Ohio and Idaho before). Annie is *very* lucky because she escaped laugh . Some of us have lived in O-h-i-o for 22+ years.

Please leave any and all comments here (good, bad, ugly) smile .
