She looked at me quizzically. I thought "Maybe Willy is big in the States, and not actually in England?" Now, I think she was just uneducated. Good looking, nice teeth, but uneducated. I miss her a lot. I refuse to take telephone polls. They force yes or not answers to essay questions. I would do better if I remembered #2's post--just excellent.
