Oops... Sorry for the delay getting the definition up this morning. I was so fixated measuring my morsels that I ate my words. ~ James

Interesting. There sure are a lot of "Susan/Suzy/Sue" appearing with today's definition....
Maybe Suzy has an eating reorder ~ James

Funny, I'm currently eating at Suzy Q's in downtown Denver. I'll be rejoining you in October, if anybody misses me. In the meantime, be creative! I stole that line.

Although none feature the eating habits of a boy named Sue. How do you do?
