a. I too have my tonsils and was plagued with tonsillitis several times a year while growing up.
b. I was a military brat - my dad spent 23 years in the Air Force, which explains why I still HAVE my tonsils - and I lived in Illinois, Alabama, England for 5 years, and then California.
c. And I was a music major, voice, in college (Go Aztecs!) with 5+ years of lessons.
d. And, finally, I am also a genius like you, as evidenced by the fact that we are both devoted Freepers!
OK, that's just downright scary. :-)
