A Tribute to abra a collection of her comments

[LLapp]

A note for abra's family: Marnita is a Harvard-educated, retired legal secretary who loves bike-riding, reading ancient classics in the original Greek, and supporting liberal politics. She and abra engaged in honest, careful, and mutually respectful dialogue through many threads over the years. This is a tiny snippet.

Football is my favorite, so I guess that puts me in my place.

After baseball (Go Cubbies!!!) I watch figure skating, and gymnastics. I'll be having tea on the veranda.

Nice. Thanks for this snippet LLapp. It's good to keep our past players in our memory. They all live on here in Cryptoland thank goodness.

Here's one of those times when abra claimed to be non-exceptional. I'm posting this one if only to get my comment on the record.

I'm kind of a dabbler. I'm a little bit good at a few things. I have no real talent at anything. Oh, Unattributed how would you measure my success?

This quote doesn't help much, since there's no way to measure the talents you've been given.

Abra, you have talents that are evident in your comments!! For one thing, you are a peacemaker with a talent for fairness and compassionate candor. Also, you're a natural writer.

A little inheritance doesn't hurt either.
