I got work-related reading done, a doctor's appointment (major time-suck, 
not good for much else), dropped some stuff at the church office, and got 
some free fabric from the local senior center.  Tonight I have to be at the 
local messianic synagogue for the Seder.  Needless to say I don't mind 
going. :-)

Unless it gets left in too long.(LOL)  Can you say shoe leather?

-> Quite a bit of train stuff, actually.

Sounds like home.

-> 
-> My dorm was torn down some years ago. The main part had been built
-> around the turn of the 19th/20th century, an addition had been put on in
-> the 40s. A couple of years after I graduated, it was turned into a boys
-> dorm. It had originally had one of the 2 dining facilities on campus,
-> until the new campus center/cafeteria opened up in winter of 1972-73.

Mine was originally a guys' dorm too; they still had urinals in the 
bathrooms, although they didn't work any more.  The individual dorms had 
their own kitchens at at time; it's probably different now.
