Just the sort of stuff I like to receive for the Bayline's "Kaleidoscope"
column. Thanks for starting off the next column, Deb and Lincoln! Any body
else? Please reply directly to me, not to the list (otherwise there'll be
no need for a column!).

Congratulations, Lincoln!
Gee, wish I'd kept all my Avalon and Fillmore posters. Not very
political, but definitely a sign of those times.
I hope other SLA members will toot their horns for accomplishments
outside of what we may consider our "professional" achievements. You
know, fun stuff, like Tim DeWolf's camping buddies reunion pix.
I'll begin by sharing that my tennis team, the Alameda Aces won our
division for the 2002-2003 year for the Bay Area Ladies League. If
you really want to know more, go to <http://www.alamedasun.com/> and
click on the Sports page. For some reason, our team photo that was in
the print edition isn't there, but the story is. My doubles partner
and i were the Most Valuable Doubles Team on the Aces.
