I live in PA

[Thadeus]

Does anyone else live in a two-letter state?

I know every state has a two-letter abreviation, but I have never heard a person say that they live in CT or FL. Pennsylvanians seem to use PA completely interchangable with Pennsylvania.

Is this unique?

Ken,

Your comment about the Mamas and the Papas reminds me of my daughter, Sarah, when she asked me one time, "Dad, did you know that Paul McCartney was in a group before Wings?"

LookingForInfo, is that just another example, or do you work in movies?

Local low-budget fare (full-length horror B-movies) and the 48 Hour Film Project which is a contest which tours the country. If it hits your city, find a team and join! The goal is to make a short movie (4 - 7 minutes in length) in 48 hours based on certain things told to you Friday night, 7 PM. Little sleep. Lots of fun.

In these various endeavors, I've acted, produced, directed, written, provided sound effects, edited, kept script continuity notes, etc. Fun stuff!

Thanks for asking!

--Dave
