<i>younger than Rizutto[sic]</i>

Given that Teddy Roosevelt's widow was still alive and kicking when I was born, being younger than me does not exactly exempt one from geezerhood.

1) Do people on the Asia Forum know or care when I show up?

2) If a Fodorite falls in the woods (or the bar or the restroom at the bar) and no one hears him/her, did s/he really fall?

3) Do I actually have real hair? (This was a consideration after chemotherapy!)

4) Why do Gpanda's shoes weight 50 lbs. each?

5) Why have Beth, who is intelligent and very nice and Karen, who is intelligent and very nice, stayed wed to Gpanda and Bob? Is it masochism, a contest of wills, or a bet for $$?

6) Do I have anything to contribute to the next Fodors GTG in Boston (other than money)or do I anticipate having some kind of travel experience that may be of some value between now and early October?

7)If a train bound for NYC traveling at 90 mph leaves Philadelphia a half-hour after a NYC train bound for Philly leaves Grand Central Station, then how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

These are the questions that keep me awake at night!

RE #5...I'm guessing it would have to be a very, very big $ wagered on that bet!

BC-#1-of course we note your occassional forays onto the best forum. We figure you're testing the waters after that nasty Europe forum.

#2-even if no one notices at the time of occurrence, it would be reported in a "trip" report.

#3-it matters not. Rizzuto doesn't have real hair and he's not [sic].

#4-Those gossamer wings are a lot heavier than they look.

#5-Two different answers.

Beth is in charge of saving endangered species.

Karen and Bob went to High School together. One can only assume that he tricked her early on and the spell has not worn off. Sort of a reverse Rumpelstiltskin thing.

#6-we only ask that you tell one travel story that will keep us amused. It doesn't have to be a new story.

#7-They no longer use wood as a fuel on trains, so Woody is going to go without any wood. However, the NYC woodchuck might as well gnaw on the Yankees' bats. They're not being used for anything else.

#8-20-what part of 20 don't you understand. I know in Michigan they rarely count above 7 because that's all the points the U of M football team scores, but you could pretend.
