   Hi Ruth,   
      
   RH> When he was younger (he didn't say how young), he worked as a   
   RH> projectionist in a movie theater that showed movies not suitable for   
   RH> children. ...   
      
   Ha!  It sounds like his honorific was used affectionately and with good   
   humor.   
      
   How about you, yourself.  Did you ever have a humorous nickname, and if   
   you did, is it something you would be willing to share?   
      
   RH> A fishing pole is a good cat toy--tie something to the end of the line,   
   RH> cast and reel in. I've a friend that owned several cats and they all   
   RH> enjoyed chasing whatever was at the end of the line.   
      
   We have something like that in the closet here.  Today i should dig it out   
   and show our cat a good time.  :-)   
      
   RH> for Steve's birthday so we bought a roll at Wegman's. As good as Wegman's   
   RH> is for a lot of things, their pumpkin roll doesn't measure up to my home   
   RH> made one. (G)   
      
   I would generally prefer home made over store bought, but honestly, any   
   dessert that gets served to me is a good dessert.  I made this fruit salad   
   a few days ago and was happy with it:
