You are too humble. It's your book. WAY too much effort goes into getting one done right and into print to give all the credit away.

And I haven't even read it yet.

You're kidding! A Fighting Chick, are you? That's incredible. I'm sure we know people in common. My late dad went to all his CHS reunions and enjoyed them. Have fun!

Sorry - I just realized you meant you'd be going *thru* Chickasha to your hometown - sorry, I wasn't thinking. Duh.

I was unclear.

I will be passing through Chickasha on the way to my reunion...

It's King of the Road by the Proclaimers! I never would have imagined that a Scots accent would be so perfect for this song.

*No thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot!*

Kansas City star, that's what I are ...
Yodel-ee-de-lady .. ya oughta see my car!
Drive a big ole Cadillac with wire wheels,
Got rhinestones on the spokes ...
Got credit down at the grocery store
And my barber tells me jokes ...

I'm the #1 attraction in ev'ry supermarket parking lot!
I'm the King of Kansas City!
No thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot!

>>Oh, I forgot the part about his kiddie show ...

Got a letter just this mornin'...
It was postmarked Omaha ....
It was typed and neatly written,
Offerin' me this better job ....
Better job at higher wages, expenses paid, and a car ...
But I'm on TV here locally and I can't quit, I'm a star!

I come on the TV a-grinnin' ....
Wearin' pistols and a hat ...
It's a kiddie show and I'm a hero of the younger "sat" ...
I'm the #1 attraction at ev'ry supermarket parkin' lot ...
I'm the King of Kansas City!
No thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot!

Yodel-ee-de-lady, blup, bzonk ... Roger mouth sounds!!

Wow, sorry I can't see and listen. One of these days, I'll try to hook up my older puter and see and hear all the things I've missed with this other one. Thanks.

*Rollin', rollin', rollin' ...
Though the streams are swollen ...
Keep them dogies rollin' ...
Raaaww .. hide!

Move 'em on, head 'em up ...
Head 'em up, move 'em out ...
Rawhide ...
>>>On and on, endlessly*
