      I knew a girl from Pekin, IL. I did t realize it was that far from Chicago. I thought it was an outer burb.

      That could be the start of a limerick.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                I lived in Pekin Illinois for several years when I was little. To be more specific, Creve Coer.

                      Her last name was Jean.

                      Education is extremely important.

                          Her daddy had a small airplane and a landing strip in a field behind his house. He would take me and Gloria Jean up in it every once in a while.

                            I remember that story from TOCR. I thought it was pretty neat.

                            "Gloria Jean's Coffees was founded by Gloria Jean Kvetko in 1979 in Long Grove, Ill., a small town just outside Chicago."

                            Long Grove is a suburb about 20 miles northwest of Chicago. Nice town.

                              Might not be the same Gloria Jean then. Might be like your elephant story.... "it wasn't the same elephant"
