Oxymoronic? Hey John, we may be a little slow but we're all still 
breathin'.  You can't be oxymoronic until you stop taking in oxygen and
get 
a little stupid as a result.  I can't speak for the committee chairman 
though, he might have stopped breathing, haven't heard from the guy
since 
yesterday (that's the opposite of tomorrow for those of you following
this 
conversation).

And have you ever thought about running "aground" Where else would you 
run?  In the air?  Then you'd have the problem of running anair - after 
all, you couldn't run a-air.  Doesn't scan very well does it? Having
said 
that, my sailboat and I ran aground once after the water got a little
too 
shallow to runawater.  Neither of us enjoyed the experience and I've
never 
run since.  Don't even like jogging or walking too fast either.  Mostly
I 
saunter. (always liked that word "saunter" - makes you think of lazy, 
summer afternoons with dust in the sun's path and a favourite dog at
your 
side)

Have to say I tried one of those weed barrier products once - a 
manufacturer sent it along for trial.  The little flamethrowers on the 
corners of the fence looked pretty neat and they could fry a floating 
dandelion seed at about ten feet away. We had to put it away though, the

mailman wore a flower in his pocket one day and when he got out of the 
hospital burn unit, he was really nice about asking us to take down the 
sentry system. Seemed like a shame to go back to the hoes but he did
look 
kinda pititful without those bushy eyebrows and I couldn't say no to
him.

Must get back to unpacking.  This moving homes is a vastly overrated
activity.
