Cornell? One course at a time? Not much else in Mt Vernon.
No, I'm not an alum, but I do have a personalized Ice Rams hockey
jacket that I wear in the fall. I have drunk Jack Daniels in the
basement of Joe's International Airport lounge.
We lived in Iowa City from '86-'99 and my dh was a ringer on the
hockey team. We spent a lot of time driving back and forth to the
Cattle Congress.
I've been living in Delaware 10 years now, but I still miss Iowa like
nobody's business.

OMG! You know it!!!!! Yes, I did OCAAT - loved, loved, loved it (was
the reason I picked Cornell AAMOF).
We are going back in October for a reunion. . .
If you ever get out this way, look me up - I'm in Missouri. . .

But not of me. All of my early exposure was negative--so I wasn't "going
back to" anything. From a fairly early age, though, I observed that if you
really want to learn something, there is a book that will tell you how, and
it was books that taught me crewel, knitting, cross stitch--and cooking.
Now with the 'net, it's even easier. I am delighted to see magazines like
ReadyMade which encourage people to repurpose, recycle, and made their own
stuff. Things like Altered Couture also encourage creativity, and hit a
younger demographic. Just cause Mama didn't teach you, doesn't mean you
won't ever know! (why oh why did that conjure up a wicked grin??)

LOL - I agree - I was speaking in generalities of course. There are
exceptions to every rule - and you prove it!
