Serina, that was something I would never have guessed

Theresia, I am very cool with anyone calling me Lanie.. I just never think to introduce myself that way anymore. I kind of test driving the whole Lorraine thing, decided I didn't' like it, but that was the year I met Andy, and that is what he has always called me.

Also, when I went to corporate, i kind of thought Lanie sounded like Buffy, Muffy, Jody and Bitsy, and I didn't think anyone would take Lanie very seriously.

And the Math thing, complete freak of nature.

Wow! I love this, Lorraine. Do people still call you Lanie? Would you smack me if I called you that or are you good with that nickname? I'd love to hear about your time in Israel. I bet it was amazing. And yeah, I never pegged you for a math wiz either. I knew you were smart but man, that's WAY smart!!

Half Italian - maiden name is Buonocore. I'm Sicilian - it's where I get my rebel side from, I am sure!

Nicki, There is a better chance I will be be walking to Alaska then doing anything with Karoke!
Serina, I would never have guested you were a Brooklyn girl;
Scott - Somehow I knew you would get the Dodger reference.
Brain - Maybe I like math, cause I don't have to do it every day.

I never pegged you as a "mathie". That's what we called the math majors at Rose-Hulman. I'm an engineer and I hate math. I still don't know how I'm still successful at my job ;)

Great info, Lorraine! Wow, 49 states - how cool! So, when is your trip planned for Alaska - with Nicki :)? Something we have in common - I too was born in Brooklyn!

Okay, we're going karaoke'ing and to Alaska together. I've got the places to stay (with family) if you've got the plane tix. :)
