Hi Linda:

Did you see the one that went "I love cooking grandma and my kids"?  

It was presented as a problem in comma non-usage, but I thought a good old preposition "for" was what was required.  

I am starting teaching my first African American Studies course on Monday!  Tony Lee who heads that program told Mark he'd like me to take over Mark's position!  With Elinor at 13, I am wondering if I could swing such a thing -- work Tues-Thurs morning in Largo, and do the rest of my work via telecommuting? 

Just pondering . . . 

Hope you are enjoying this luscious Fall weather.  

Melinda

Warning: Parts of it are a little raunchy (comma sutra), but other parts are really cute. 

eg:

What's another name for Santa's elves?

Subordinate clauses (HAH!)
