and to clarify the matter for everyone, the ditzy woman on Golden Girls was from a fictional Minnesota town called St. Olaf, it was not in any way a reference to the college.

Thank god someone pointed this out.  God forbid that Rose Nyland ever sully the name of the College of St. Olaf!  :~)

I went to a sister school in the Twin Cities.  St. Olaf always had a great reputation and clearly still does.  I'd interview there in a flash.  But I LIKE winter.  (It has to be said, though, that winter has been thin on the ground in Minnesota in the last couple of years, according to my friends there.)

It's like an action movie, but boring.
