Subject:      hello

Hiya,

I'm Ralph from Phoenix AZ.  Just got added to your list.  Interesting.
Is that "The" MIT?  Whoa.  I'm not a lurker by nature, but I do believe
I'll just sit quietly for the time being.

I don't believe I ever got nervous sending an e-mail before now.

I'm a retired firefighter.  I was a journalism major in college.  Although
I did win a fiction writing award once, all I write now are peculiar
short stories.  Oh yea, I'm a certified nut, but I'm harmless and happy.

A pleasure to be here.

                                         Ralph Rice
