A test post for cutting RSS Feeds
I’m trying out a plugin (rss_more) to see if I can get the <!–more–> tag to cut off in RSS-feed posts. Useful for the Sunday Puzzle 
(by the way, it seems to work)

Sunday Puzzle, 4/27
Next Week’s Challenge: From Andrew Chaikin of San Francisco. Insert a long E sound after the first letter of “bond” and phonetically you get “be-ond.” Insert a long E sound after the first letter of “renter” and you get “re-enter.” Name something found in outer space. Insert a long E sound after the first letter, and you’ll name a resident of a major American city. What are the words?
Hint 1: Like the example, it’s phonetic, not letter-for-letter.
Hint 2: Start with cities that have an “eee” sound in the first syllable.
RSSer’s look away!
Mom and Dad
My mom’s birthday and my parents’ anniversary was a few days ago. I once asked my mom why she got married on her birthday, because that just limited prezzies — was it for romantic reasons?
“No,” she said. “It was the last time we were going to try.”
Apparently, they’d made arrangements to meet at the courthouse several times, but for some reason or another, it didn’t happen. It nearly didn’t happen the last time, either, as Dad was running late (as usual) and Mom, pissed off that he seemed so casual about it, nearly walked away. Grandma hid Mom’s keys to keep her from leaving.
What a couple they must have made early on — a feisty little redhead, smart and a bit of a hellion, together with a tall, laid-back agitator…
I’m glad they managed to work it out.
The reason I haven’t fixed that front step
That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
