Hope this helps.



And since we've been talking about Trier lately, I wanted to point
out that, although most Americans seem to pronounce the name
tree-AIR, the actual pronunciation is something like Tree-ur, with
only a little more emphasis on the first syllable (but not much).


And here I thought it was pronounced "tri-ayeh" or something!

Of course, the branch of my fanily has always mispronounced our last
name (I'm a wheel, not a while or vile if you want to be exact).


As in Kurt Weill. Or do I have this wrong too.

Well, some might think I'm vile g...


You know that I don't, I am sure of this.

And here is a little OT 'secret' - Mack is the one male friend who is
absolutely unafraid of his feminine side; the only person, let alone
man, who boldly declares his intense interest in "The Bold and the
Beautiful." Alas, it is too feminine a sopa opera for my masculine side,
which prefers "The Guiding Light" to B&B g. But Mack is incurably
devoted to B&B, alas.
