Heck, no, I wouldn't mind. [But as MINOR finger-shaking nags, I would like to point out that you could read the official description in news.lists, and that your .sig must be hell on people reading at 300 baud.] This here is Callahan's.

I couldn't resist. :-) For those who've never had Mexican hot choclate, it's sometimes found in the local grocery store near the Hershey's stuff in a bright yellow hexagonal (maybe octoganal?) box with red strips. Ibarra usually comes in solid form; you break off a piece, stick it in a pan with some milk, whip it while it heats--and you've got hot chocolate from the hand of God. It's flavored with a hint of cinnamon and vanilla. Good shtuff! (Christ. I'm showing all my California-isms all at the same time...

He has a tired look about him, as if he had attended one social event too many, despite the fact he has only just arrived. He is dressed in jeans and T-shirt and is carrying an overstuffed backpack, the epitome of the engineering student. as he flashes a quick grin to the others in the place, it's obvious he has been here before, if only lurking in the shadows enjoying the wit of others. He steps up to the bar holding and fishes for a dollar bill. After a bit of fiddling he settles for four quarters he found in his jacket pocket and promptly places them on the counter. "If you please, Mike, a glass of root beer." He looks around the bar once more, and sighs gently. "Well, I'm glad this place hasn't changed much while I was gone." He steps into the firelight and drains the glass. He pauses for a moment, looking for the proper words... "Like some others who are around here, I did visit my family over the vacation. It's odd, actually. I spend more of the year at school, than I do at home. I'm sure I have more friends here than I do at home, or at least they are more a part of my everyday life. By now, after doing this for a few years, it almost feels like the vacation is the visiting and my life here is my real life. I guess that is part of learning to grow up and live on your own." "But on with the toast. Over the years I've noticed that this vacation seems to be a big one for people going home. Friends of mine have gone home over this vacation and refused to come back. I guess they miss home a little too much. I guess this is what my toast is to. To everyone's return! And to those who didn't! " He goes to sit down in a chair and chat with an interesting bear he saw on the way in. It looks like he will be staying at this social event for a while. -Tom Hopkins > "There's not a word yet/ For old friends who've just met."
