I lived the first 17 years of my life in central and western
Pennsylvania. And Ohio for another 2. My last name is ... [drum
roll]....'Wertz' and the last three (maybe four?) generations of us
have been born and raised there in PA (but we'd never be caught dead
in or near Philadelphia - Reading is as far as we go).

I think this qualifies me as Pennsylvania Dutch just a tad more than
some inbred, three-nippled, bug-eyed Texan bubba with a banjo and no
front teeth who calls himself Jay.

You change your posting address more often than you change your
underwear. Speaking of which, I haven't smelled you around town
lately. Where have you and Leslie been hanging out these days? Om
and I have been looking all over for you.

ObDinner: Lemmon-pepper brined pork tenderloin, huge asparagus, and
I'm going to cook my first batch of couscous, somehow. Probably use
chicken stock and bits of whatever musgovian veggies I have lying
around.
