I grew up in Bloomington/Normal, Illinois -- a "twin cities" set of mid-sized towns that had started out about 6 miles apart but had grown together over the course of many years. I was actually born and raised in Normal (leading me to tell people that I started out Normal, but have been moving farther and farther away from Normal ever since.) There are any number of small farming communities surrounding Bloomington/Normal, and some of them have rather, well, odd names. One of these small towns is Oblong, Illinois. (You can look it up on maps. The place really exists.) So (as I indulge my passion for making a short story ever longer... hehehehe...), the Bloomington Daily Pantagraph once ran a headline in their wedding announcements column that read: Normal Man Marries Oblong Woman It's the complete truth, I swear... -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
