Heh heh heh . . . my Velcro piece is #1 on the list.
Did you know that piece has been reproduced in a college textbook
published by Pearson Longman, in a text compilation for UCLA (a couple
of times), and in a Canadian province's guide for teachers? Best
(albeit oddest) hour's work I ever did.
By the way, if the old location for the Velcro piece goes belly-up, the
piece is also posted via a link at my business site,
http://www.umbachconsulting.com/miscellany/velcro.html , and at some
school library and district servers (put there with my permission,
which I am always happy to grant for educational use).
The back story and the Velcro piece itself are included for posterity
in my column and article compilation titled "And a Cat Named Boo: Life
in Ken's Corner."
Happy holidays, folks.
