It's hard to live up to all that good will.Horacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662740021328265642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36486960.post-87090897908694309422007-10-25T18:36:00.000-04:002007-10-25T18:36:00.000-04:00Don't forget -- they have honored you with this pr...Don't forget -- <I>they</I> have honored <I>you</I> with this prize, which anyone who reads this blog can tell you've richly deserved. <BR/><BR/>They just want to bask in your presence, and feel self-satisfied for having been so discerning in their choice of excellent teacher.
