Ha on the name - esp. funny that you were both in the Beantown area.
Gene also outed himself in this article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/15/AR200511 1500459_pf.html Photos of Gene as the Czar at a party held in his honor: http://www.gopherdrool.com/czarty/index.html ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ellen Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 2:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [wc] Style Invitational No I'm not that Ellen Goodman, although everyone asks me. She's 26 years older than me and Goodman is her ex-husband's last name, so I had the name first. Although especially when I lived in Brookline, MA I used to receive her email, phone calls, and regular mail. Favorite anecdote-I was in a bookstore outlet once and I came across a collection of her columns which I bought for $5 or something (still have it) so I went to the cashier and gave her my credit card. She looked at it and looked at the author of the book and said, "you're the author!" I replied that sadly I was not, and if I was I probably wouldn't have to buy my own book years after it was written from the bargain bin. Just a hunch. No I don't know PtheP or Gene personally (I should be so lucky). I was commenting on PtheP's appearance from the pix and Gene's insistence on the anonymity of the Czar and Empress from his columns and chats. He said several times that he has slept with the Czar's wife, aka the czarina.
