What? I go away for a couple of hours and there's two pages of posts and two chapters to catch up on??
Gosh, you are on a roll Louise! We're in France right now, doing a bit of skiing (tomorrow hopefully) and I brought my computer with me. Well there's a first time for everything I guess. If I fall and hurt my knee like I did last year, at least I'll have this place and your stories to keep me busy!

(In addition to attending the Seminars)
10. Get a subscription to Ms. magazine.
9. Go to the video store and see if there are any old "Maude" episodes
available.
8. Since he doesn't like the whiny voice of the doctor on his meditation tapes,
replace them with the "The Feminine Mystique" book on tape.
7. Make a substantial donation to N.O.W. (bonus points if he actually becomes
a member but I realize that's pushing it).
6. Have Mr. Coyote give him a lickin'.
5. Write another essay. This one entitled, "Women Are Not the Enemy: How
I've Learned to Stop Being an Arrogant Jackass"
4. Make dinner for Edna and serve it to her (bonus points if he wears one of
her aprons).
3. Have Mr. Coyote give him another lickin'.
2. Apologize to Paula and mean it.
1. Make an appointment with Stew and get his Will updated and POAs drawn
up!!!!!!!!!

Oops - sorry, Fabienne. Yeah, I guess those references might not be easily recognizable outside of the U.S. - "Ms." is a landmark feminist magazine first published in the 1970's. "Maude" was a popular 1970's American sitcom about an outspoken feminist. "The Feminine Mystique" is a book written in the 1960's that some think helped to ignite the contemporary women's movement. "N.O.W." is the "National Organization for Women." Can't see Ellery doing any of these! LOL!
Have fun and be careful!

I,ve got to stick up for poor Ellery here lol. Yes he may be an arrogant jackass, but that,s just in his nature, and you can,t change the way you are inside. He may be able to learn to bite his tongue, but his basic nature, he can,t change that, and I wouldn,t want him too. He,s just great the way he is thanks. And making him write another essay is treating him like a child, IMO. You wouldn,t have Wes make him do that would you Louise? Poor Ellery. It,s not his fault he doesn,t like woman, and he probably doesn,t mean to be rude, he just can,t help himself.
Thats my 2 cents, for what it,s worth. :)
