	<description><![CDATA[I can't guarantee proper paragraphs, the Queen's English, or even the least bit of cogency. When I was going to Brown Institute about 147 years ago, there was a fellow student, a hockey player, from somewhere in northern Minnesota...what we call, the Iron Range. I can't remember his name and I think I am confusing him with another fellow student from somewhere in western Minnesota. THAT guy was a baseball player and eventually did sports on TV...maybe in Duluth, when I was elsewhere. Anyway, like many people from the Range, the hockey player was a Bohunk. Does anyone use words like Bohunk anymore? Bohunk...Dumb Swede....Finnlander....? Is Bohunk as bad as what is now referred to as the n'word? In San Francisco the 'community' has embraced the Q-word...but some are quite offended by the F-word. (THIS F-word is the perjoritive...not like the F-U word. Mostly THAT F-word, I use as an adverb or adjective). I saw a play once..TWIGS...where a character says to her husband..."You are an odd man." In 1962 there was something odd about your basic Minnesota Bohunk. In Prague, the capital city of one of the most Bohunkian countries in the world, the Czech Republic, they are NOT odd. Perhaps there is some sort of Darwinian process that has the effect of taking a perfectly normal Czech-Bo and when they become a Range-Bo..they become ..well...odd. (My Range-Bo friend was a wonderful Catholic, tho, and even made a Novena while I knew him). If the Czech Republic changed its name to "Bohunkia", would they be embracing the slur and trumping the slurers? I intended to compare the street people in Prague, San Francisco, and Duluth but I traveled a different road. Maybe tomorrow. Aren't you glad you didn't have to be hear to deal with all this in person?]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Hey,
The Modesto Nuts began their season at home tonight(Thursday). 
Do you remember Jim and Mary Gunn? We used to call 'em Ma and Pa Gunn. They always sat with us at the games. Anyway, she passed away Monday at 86 years young. I went to school with her kids. She was a nice lady.
Well, I'm glad you're back. Any West Coast plans? Let us know. I'll pick you up from BART in Dublin. Talk soon,
K&A]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Still can't get my brain around the MODESTO NUTS!!! When I got home I checked the schedule for the Duluth Huskies....June 7th...first game. Last June I only managed one game because it was so cold the entire month. I remember some Modesto A's games where it was freezing...or seemed like it. I sort of remember the Gunns....The funny thing is I thought Mary Gunn was in her 80's 20+ years ago. I am going to Best to maybe buy an I-Pad...not sure. I just spent a ton of money traveling and now I'm spending another ton of $ on a toy? I may come to my senses. I've been picked up in Dublin a couple of times. Can't remember if it was the Buttercup Restaurant or the Burger King.]]></description>
