Disappointed that no one has responded to Sparty's article on Sunday, below. What's going on with some friends
FELIX and PILOT - are thinking they may be married on the Appalachian Trail, a hiking trail which runs from Maine to Georgia, and near the location where they met. Such a romantic idea!
IRISH MIKE and AMY - welcome their son home from Europe where he spent time studying and traveling. If you want to know a great bar in Ireland, try the "American" bar on Inishmore. (Can't wait to gather my friends and go.)
THE SNIDES - has won his primary election and as he says, "unless I forget to vote in November I should be elected" ( because no one is running against him in the general election.) Congratulations on the County Commission win.
What some folks are talking about
MARSHA - is upset that the University of Southern California has been granted " more rights to" the initials "SC" than the University of South Carolina has. As she points out, the University of South Carolina was in existence before the whole State of California was even thought of (or even owned by the U.S. for that matter.) It remains to be seen if South Carolina can continue to use the initials on uniforms and in promotions. CLICK BUD - has been proud to hear the University of Michigan so often mentioned in reference to Americas swimming champions at the Olympics.
BILL FROM WNNCO - is recommending SMILE TRAIN, an organization that provides free surgery for children around the world who has cleft palates or other oral disfigurement. As he says, "If you are thinking of a good charity to which you can donate, this is one that merits consideration. All of the monies (as reported to me) go to the actual operations. The reward seems to be tangible and we are not supporting the lavish lifestyle of many of the CEO's of other larger charities."

SPARTY - noted the conviction of Osama bin Laden's driver and says, sarcastically: "Let's see - the U.S. military held Osama Bin Laden's driver in the Gitmo gulag for 5 years, and after a trial by a military commission in which hearsay evidence and evidence obtained from torture could be used, he was convicted of being Bin Laden's driver - something he admitted to all along. I don't know about you, but I appreciate these efforts to protect me."
Sparty - also raises the possibility that certain American leaders may not be safe from arrest if they travel to some foreign countries after they leave office. They may get arrested for war crimes.
CHRIS - noting the picky charges being brought against Detroit Mayor Kilpatrick, says this: "It reminds me of Al Capone being convicted of tax evasion versus his other crimes."
DASHMANN - is thinking about the Olympic games and is worried that "Something terrible not related to sports is going to happen at this years Olympics..." Let's hope he's wrong.

Re: Who has the right to use "SC"
When I was stationed in southern California in the early 60s there was an effort by the University of Southern California to discourage referring to the school as "SC" - the expression preferred by the school's sports info dept was "USC"
