How strange that you should be so interested in learning more about Heather, of whom nothing is known, only that she was there during ninth grade, glaring at people.

How strange that you would prattle on so about Watergate and the firing of persons involved in that scandal. I never had the slightest connection to Watergate and don't know one thing about it.

How strange that you would not direct all questions about Watergate to the SanGios who were deeply involved in the political scenery and closely connected to the Catto's. They may know something about that but I never spent any time identifying and/or debriefing CIA agents so I really wouldn't know anything about that.

I vaguely remember years ago, while visiting Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale, making the acquaintance of Marla, a nice person of whom I remember almost nothing, just that she seemed to be one of the regulars there.

After the MK Retreat, on the bus on the way back to Springfield, I happened to be sitting next to Jeff Hittenberger, who was attending Evangel at the time, and he was asking me about SCC. I told him about a program that some people at our college were doing whereby they can choose to fast a meal by signing their names to a list at the entrance to the cafeteria. Was the money saved donated to poor people or charity? I don't remember the details. Anyway, I never said that I myself ever did that. I only said that some people were doing that, although not me. God forbid that I should aggregate my name to the list of pathetic shameless hypocrites who stand on public corners trumpeting their good deeds to the public in direct contradiction to the instructions of the New Testament. Anyway, later I heard that Jeff had been very impressed with the idea and had contacted the organizers of that program to learn more about that and then they were accusing me of lying because obviously my name was not on the list. Obviously not. So?

Yes, I do remember that in the old family photo collection on my Dad's side there was a photograph of a couple of guys, middle-aged, not too young, surveying an empty lot. On the back of the photograph were a series of numbers, possibly indicating a sort of compass pinpoint, although I would only be speculating. There were no names or people or descriptions of the lot, only the numbers for geo-positioning purposes, maybe. Ok, so there is a picture of an empty lot, but without a title deed and other legal documentation the photo has no legal value in terms of a property exchange. It was just a photo of an empty lot.

Years ago when I was living in Boca Raton, someone asked me if I were someone else, someone whose last name is also Calkins, but no, I am not she. Besides, there is no "u" in my last name. So there was no reason for me to think twice about that. I just have no idea who those people are.

Yes, it certainly would seem so mean of me, so bad, so unpatriotic to even consider the notion of suing my very own government, of invoking various charges mainly for sending all these mentally retarded people to harass me on a regular basis throughout high school. And yet, well, the thought has crossed my mind that I am entirely powerless to actually do that. I am nobody important that the CIA would bother about me. Perhaps it was just a strange convergence of stupidities that makes my life so miserable and no one really deserving of the blame. So we will just have to leave the CIA dangling at the end of its tether before they eventually issue their apology with attached check for monetary damages, thank you very much.

Yes, why are you so surprised to learn that on the day of the crucifixion there was also an earthquake and a darkening of the sun, whether by solar eclipse or other signs I don't know. But these things are mentioned in the New Testament in case you did not notice, so there is really not news.
