And I used to have a girl friend named Lucy , and she had red hair. And I used to have a dog that was a sort of mut-Beagle. And I am a baseball player, and though I am good , not poor like Charlie Brown, I didn't win an ultimate championship until this past October, about the time that Chas. Schulz announced the end of his column.
