Damn. And my "German Expressionism" costume was such a big hit in grad school!

Guess I'll have to go with "Nature Red in Tooth and Claw," or "The Rosy-Fingered Oxford Don."

Once again, well done.

I am thinking it might be time to start putting together a Book of Mormon Jesus Commandments.

It's actually ripped off from one of my undergrad mentors at the U of U, Physics professor Gale Dick. I took multi-disciplinary "Great Ideas" courses from him. He was a former Rhodes scholar and wore his Oxford Robes while carrying roses intertwined among his fingers. Gale was/is also a great mountaineer. He's climbed in the Himalayas as well as all over the Western Rockies and mountains of Utah.

He was great friends with my Latin professor, Barbara Lindsey of sainted memory. She has now ascended to the stars where she sits at Athena's right hand along with Professor Frederick Wheelock. The Lindsey/Dick family New's Years Eve parties were legendary, with the 1812 Overture being blast all over Salt Lake's avenues at midnight. She'd always pour me shots of whiskey and then make me do difficult declensions.

Magistra ave atque vale!

Mormon Jesus I seek your counsel. Who should I vote for in the upcoming American presidential election?
