During my illustrious teaching career I habitually asked "does anyone have any questions?" I'm sure, along with various other verbal tics, my students hated it. They certainly almost never had any, other than ones about their grades and how tests/papers would be graded. We could be halfway through the semester, in the middle of class, and just finished with a poem, and I could get a question about the format of the final...

Although I'm working on a new radio affiliate profile and still have about five "Remembering ... " posts, I'm sorta in a rut post-wise. So, to mix things up a bit, I'm offering to do a mailbag entry. The idea isn't that I'm some wise, all-knowing master of the Royals (I'm not) or that I'm interesting in all ways. Mainly, it just may be, stress may be, a nice way to change pace a little bit and talk about some new things. It's still January and other than Fan Fest, we're still a loong way from the good stuff.

We'll see anyway.

So, you can shoot me your question in an email (royalsnightly at yahoo) or post it below. When I feel like I have enough that I can answer, I'll do so.
