    Happy Friday, good ol'210! 
    by Jerry Van Marter 
 
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Happy Friday, good ol'210!  And Web calls your attention 
to an Irish victualry and libationary on Tryon Street which has been 
heavily patronized by Presbyterians this week.  Said establishment is named 
"Ri Ra," which in Gaelic means "a good time."  Are we having a Ri Ra yet?

    Who's on first? department: Web attaches no significance to the matter,

Thursday morning (this is a true fact!) -- right to left: Parker Williamson 
("The Presbyterian Layman"), "The Presbyterian Outlook" staff, the PCUSA 
Office of Communication staff, Kathy Lancaster ("Church & Society" mag).

    Book-of-the-Month Club main selection department: On sale at the good

slipped Freudingly and referred to the aformentioned "Book of Order" as 
"The Book of Options."  Web can only wish...

    Fowl ball department: Long time News Room denizen Chuck Proudfoot was 
grousing about the $19 price tag for the Presbyterian Writers Guild 
Luncheon Thursday.  "Heck," Proudfoot noted, "the dues are only $20!"  PWG 
officer Jane Hines quickly retorted, "Yeah, Chuck, but at least you get 
roast beef -- everyone else is serving chicken!"
