now Shirley:
So, where do all you Texans live?  I was born in Midland (Jen and I 
have covered this ground already; so was she) but now live in 
Colorado, where I get to have seasons, and snow, and skiing, 
snowshoeing, hiking, climbing 14-ers, etc.  Still consider myself a 
Texan, though.... :-)   (oh, and Hook 'em!; even if we *can't* seem 
to beat those Sooners)

Shirley, who still quotes from Time Bandits and Monty Python whenever 
given the opportunity...
