Oh crap. I really don't know my operas very well. Annie is going to toss me from hers when she sees this, as she will be ashamed of me.

Excellent. I like that a lot. I told you I'd learn it tonight!

that is very very good memory aid, Nance,

And it DOES NOT REQUIRE SITTING THROUGH 16 HOURS OF OPERA to use it to remember....

I work with 8th graders, so I'm really good at the KISS System!

Who's to say what's "proper"? Would alphabetical order be "improper"? I'll find out:
