Phil Nisbet writes (soberly, one wonders?):

"But this is not Lorne Doone and we can not remain frozen in time here in Moscow, stagnant 
and unmindful of the rest of the world."


Lorne Doone, eh?  Hmm . . . what are our interpretive options here?  Does Phil mean Lorna 
Doone the Nabisco wafer?  If so, then I can assure him that they have a remarkably long shelf-
life.  In fact, pay no heed to that expiration date on the box -- you can dip the cardboard itself 
in a cup of tea and it will taste much the same.  Or does Phil mean Brigadoon, the dreadful 
1950s musical starring that awful, beefy, poor man's version of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly?  As I 
recall, Brigadoon was only accessible to strangers once every hundred years or so, and if any 
of the residents tried to leave, they'd age rapidly and fall to bits.  Is this the fate that awaits 
Mark Seman?

Don't go, Mark!  I take it all back!  I don't know about ya'll, but if I were to pass a tall pile of 
bitter architect dust every time I drove down to Lewiston, I'd probably feel a mite guilty. 

No relation to Lorne Greene, I am,
