If you look at it from an apocalyptic viewpoint, or a worst-case
environmentalist scenario, maybe I'm living in 2024. But I believe God
gave the sun a stable run of 10 billion years for a reason, and only 5
billion have been used up getting us this far.

At least your children don't all have their own cell phones yet.

True. I had a friend once who was a medical student. We used to joke
about the 3rd year class in illegible handwriting. I guess you could have
tested out of that one.

Roughly, Sharlis, or maybe more like Sharles, or somewhere in between.
Its hard to get the sounds right in a language you didn't grow up with,
unless you have a chance to really immerse yourself, which I haven't. It
definitely does not end in a z kind of s sound though. If you have ever
heard any spoken Welsh, imagine Charles pronounced with that sort of
accent.

Please Jeanene, you can do better than that.

How do you pronounce "Eagle"? It could reasonably be read eeahglay.

I used to make up new pronunciations for street names I was bored with.

BUOOK on on (Buchanan)
