Still working on that, on the attempts to clear the captain's name in
the late 90s.

I think I was a grade or 2 ahead of my reading after first grade. Don't
know how it was measured in grade school but sophomore year of high
school we (class) took a standardised test and the teachers gave us
results individually. In just about all areas I was reading, etc at a
college level sophomore (highest grading they went). I had unrestricted
library priviledges as a 2nd grader, also took advantage of the town
public library and bookmobile. We didn't get tv until I was in 4th
grade, then only one channel, which probably contributed to reading so
much.
CS> Ah well, making stir fry veggies and a pasta alfredo dish with

CS> make a pasta salad for munchies or lunch uses.
We're going to do another pita based pizza for supper, use up the pitas
and do it on the grill. I like pasta salad but Steve doesn't so will
make some for me if I have to take a meal somewhere (like our now
deceased quilting group). Had a high protein lunch--scrambled eggs with
cut up hot dogs and cheese, sort of an omelette--so supper doesn't need
to have as much protein.
