Just to fill the rest of you in, I also told Boyd about a comic strip in the paper last week called "Mallard Fillmore," in which Mallard (a duck) is giving out "politically correct costume ideas," and this is #2: "An 'Endangered Species'...You could dress up like a whooping crane, an everglades kite, or a conservative college professor."
So, I think, as I told Boyd, I might dress as a real endangered species when I have the chance to attend my first Halloween/Costume Party at a resort..."A Conservative Naturist College Professor." (I haven't counted all the oxymorons in that statement yet!

)
And if I was to add "Lutheran" in there...I could write a dissertation on the oxymorons!!
By the way, I sure am excited when I get to dress as a somewhat liberal college professor and have meetings at my soon to be home away from home. I LOVE IT!!!
Blessings!
