No, Uncle Miltie will not solve the nation’s problems….though not for lack of trying! No, we’re about to try something exciting here at EOW. We’ll be having something like one of Barbera Sher’s “Idea Parties” very soon! Watch this space for further developments!

In some cases people also throw connections.
