Gee... I became one because of the money and the prestige.  :-)

And since no one is ever likely to pay me for playing Trivial Pursuit 
all day, this is the next best thing.

Brighid, who got to spend part of her day explaining to a non-
English-speaking patron *why* the nice police officers were there to 
talk to him.  He'd tried to call Costa Rica from the payphone in the 
lobby, and accidently dialed 911 instead of the correct country 
code...

(Note to non-U.S. listmembers: 911 is the emergency services  
number in much of the U.S.  You're only supposed to dial it if 
there's a fire, a crime in progess, a serious injury -- stuff like that.)

Ob food content: the apple strudel pie is in the oven, and the cream 
cheese is waiting to be turned into pumpkin cheesecake.  And my 
lord is out fetching the Chinese take-in.
