   You probably did public high school. I got bundled off to a church-run   
   "academy" on advice of my public-school principal, Seems I was bored out    
   of my gourd with the curriculum in my 8th grade classes and was just    
   "phoning it it".   
      
   Talk about an eye-opener.  They certainly did challenge me.

   My problem with buffet banquets is remembering to bring my own spices   
   as the food is prepped "lowest common denominator". Salt, pepper and   
   Mrs. Dash do come in handy.
