Dearest K, I wouldn't even lend you my copy of STS!  But I would definitely chat with this serendipitous Brokie about BBM.

Well, we'll see. Complicating matters still further is the fact that I'm taking the class with a friend who's not a Brokie, though she does know about my secret Brokie life (she's the only one who does, unless you count my kids, who are fairly aware of it and find it mortifying  ::)).

Anyway, I'm thinking that to make a big point of pulling this woman aside after class to discuss it might seem a bit ... too much.  I will keep a lookout for an opportunity to bring it up more gracefully, though. Maybe, for example, on the last night of class we'll all go out for a beer, and I can sit next to her and bring it up in a more natural, conversational way.

Well, but don't kids their ages find just about everything about their parents mortifying anyway?  ;D

My STS book is one of the things I've set aside to carry over to the new apartment myself (not on the moving truck).

(I tried to find the "moving" one for you.  Paul found this.)

Thanks, Elle and Paul!  :laugh: :-* I wonder which one is me.

BTW, when I was posting the smileys above, I noticed for the first time that the little descriptor that pops up when you put the cursor on the fourth smiley from the left describes it as "Cheesy." What up with that, I wonder? What does "cheesy" mean in that context? I always think of that one as "Happy" or even "Yay!"
