Here's a little chocolate teaser. Excellent. But do you have strawberries instead of raspberries?

HEY, COUNTDOWN ... nowadays it's actually KRAKATAU, "son of Krakatoa." And thank you for the volcano reference. What did I do to deserve that? (How am I doing on my delusions, Fair?)

Excellently well. And Lady Fair is putting a new wrinkle in his brow with her obduracy even as we speak. The truth is, I needed a break. From him, from everybody in the news business. I can't remember the last time I watched Anderson Cooper--and I have only watched the Big Man one full show and one partial since he got back from vacation.

Ah. The great bright white hope. Sounds a little like laundry detergent.

HEY COUNTDOWN, what was Rocky? Either that or he does remarkable impersonations of Shuster, O'Donnell, Dr. Dean and Richard Wolffe. ;D

Reminds me of a South African boxer, white guy, called Jerry Coetzee (pronounced Harry Coat-see-uh) from back when Dad and I watched boxing together. Coetzee was in some quarters referred to as "the great white hope" but he never quite lived up to his billing.

How about the art auction game instead? Masterpiece, it's called. A favorite of mine and Bubba's when he was little. His favorite paintings were a Frederick Remington and a van Gogh.

Okay, we're grazing into chocolate territory. One for you and one for me.
