Don't forget, though, that Evergreen College is not in Oregon, but WA....
OK, Juulie. I give up. I have no clue as to the meaning of this reference. Is Evergreen supposed to have a reputation as a liberal college? Is it a "liberal arts" college and this was a hidden pun?

Surely, only UC Berkeley can challenge the U of Oregon for the "Most Liberal University" trophy.

Juulie - you got some 'splainin to do.

See you Friday on the court. Please bring your whistle. Thanks.
Hey, no problem. I've done several games now where I didn't share the whistle, and it worked out pretty well. Thanks for letting me know ahead of time that this is how you prefer to work.

Regarding, Evergreen College, I can't believe that you've never heard of it. It is (or was at one time) a very liberal college with a lot of experimenting (educational and otherwise) in its past. I'm not sure where it is in Washington, but I'm thinking Olympia? Tacoma? They were one of the colleges in the '60s and '70s that tried "open classrooms" and "flexible schedules" and no grades, and other radical ideas. People would go there if they wanted to major in Philosophy of Basketweaving and Paradigm Psychology and stuff like that. Lots of artists. Lots of hippies (this was back in the dinosaur era...). And a very hip reputation.

I'm pretty sure it's still in operation, although I haven't been wrong yet this month, so I suppose it might be about time... Josh must run in the wrong circles if none of his friends went there.
