They're only five and seven now, but when the time comes they'll probably get
into the current-day equivalent of eminem just to torture me!

Yeah, I think that's allowed. Sometimes I would say mine is "Comfortably Numb"
by Pink Floyd.

A&S Class of 19*cough* -- well, suffice it to say it was in the last quarter of
the 20th century. My BA from Hopkins is in Political Economy, I got my math
degree (also an M.A. in English) later elsewhere.
When I was there, they had only enough space to guarantee freshmen could live
in the dorms. There were two buildings-- the "new" dorms housed Adams, Baker,
Clark, Gildersleeve... gosh, I'm forgetting the rest now... and the "old" dorms
included Royce, Sylvester, more whose names escape me, and the dining hall. I
suppose they have razed the dorms I knew and put up high rise ones so you don't
have to go out into the streets of Baltimore sophomore year and find a
cockroach infested row house to rent.

I'll LYK privately when I get home, just in case she wouldn't want her seedy
past exposed!
