The ironic First Lines above are from The Great Gatsby. They seem innocuous enough except that Fitzgerald never wrote anything innocuous in his life.

O I just love your posts!
My mind seems like such a dull place compared to yours.
Fitzgerald certainly entered the thoughts this weekend.
One of these days you will have a quote I won't know.

Scrump: Don't say that! I'd say that my mind is older than yours! Congrats again on your move -- Chicago is a wonderful town. My experience from visiting is that the people are terrific.
