Subject: Anyone attend Virginia Tech or have children there?
If you attend Virginia Tech or have children/grandchildren there, please let us
know they are okay if you have a chance.
Forkni-l members have stood by each other during tragic times in the past,
and if anyone is directly affected today, we are here for you.

Subject: travelling to Toronto
I am going to be in Toronto next month (I expect to get there late on
the 6th of May, and leave on the 10th). I am going to be doing some
research at the ROM (actually trying to arrange a loan for my university
gallery from the collection -- wish us luck!). But I have evenings free
as far as I know and I would love to get together with some FK folks if
you are around. I don't necessarily need a tour, but would be happy to
come for one (I lived in Toronto for six years, but left just when they
were starting to film the first season so while I have a good basic
geography, I don't know all the specific places). I am probably most
interested, however, in maybe going for a cup of coffee or an Italian
dinner in Little Italy (that is where I lived for my last couple of
years, at College and Grace). Are there many FK fans still around
Toronto, and perhaps interested in socializing with a forlorn and lost
Merc some evening?

Oh, what a wonderful observation! I'd never noticed that, and it is
just so much fun! Where I live in the US, we usually say "X"s and
"O"s in tic-tac-toe, not "crosses" and "circles," so perhaps that's
why I've missed the association. But Nick wouldn't miss it, would
he? Especially if Schanke were drawing his "X"s as "+"s.
What is the usual Canadian expression for the markings in tic-tac-toe?

Almost all tic-tac-toe games between adults tie, in my
experience. It's very easy to maneuver your opponent into a tie, and
very hard to beat someone who knows how to maneuver a tie. I think
I'm going to interpret Nick and Schanke being evenly matched in
tic-tac-toe as a symbolic affirmation of their partnership being one
of equals well-matched, if very different.

Like Libby, I'm wondering if we have anyone at Virginia Tech, or anyone with
loved ones there. There is also the weather situation in the Northeast U.S.
Are we all o.k.?

I'm in NJ and although we have about an inch or two of water in our
basement... everythings fine with me.
And it is *still* raining!!! (well drizzling today)

Hi-
I'm not at VA Tech, but I do know people there, and fortunately they are
safe. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Unfortunately, even though I'm not in the Northeast (here in Southern
Virginia), the storm the other night threw a tree into my new house. I am fine,
but my house is a bit less new...
