It's in one of the essays in _Mystery and Manners_. Wish I could be more
specific, but I'm beat and can't bring myself to grab the book. I just
walked in from a conference on volunteerism which was, by the way, short on
pornography but long on sentimentality.

I am grateful for the runner up spot in Prof. Manier's contest. As a matter
of obligation, I should say it was just an honor to be nominated. If only
Flannery had been more specific, I could have perhaps nudged out Bill. Of
course, she was used to taking things on good authority. Nevertheless,
congratulations to Bill for reaping such ample fruits of from his first posting.
