Normally I hate white t-shirts but chose the white this time because the design sounded best to me. It was a good decision. I love the graphics (even though I wasted a good bit of time staring into a mirror when I first put on the shirt, trying to figure out the geography). I started to write a list thank-you as soon as I saw the shirt, but I hadn't been keeping up with list mail at the time and guessed that there had probably already been many thank-yous and that people were tired of reading them -- and that Eric was probably tired of getting an overload of thank-yous in direct mail. Just goes to show that I should not have thrown out my good manners after all. I'm amazed, btw, to be among the earliest recipients of the shirt. I'm always the last one to receive my annual Words-L t-shirt (except the year I was the one having them made). The snails that bring mail to Mississippi usually act as if somebody has poured salt on them. --Natalie ([log in to unmask])
