Okay. I can see you guys are playing hardball here. How 'bout this? ‘Delta Dawn, What’s that flower you got on? Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?’ or ‘Lady Willpower, It’s now or never Bring your love to me’ or, possibly the worst one ever 'MacArthur Park is melting in the rain, All the sweet green icing, melting down. Some one left my cake out in the rain. I don’t think that I can take it. ‘Cause it took so long to bake it. And I’ll never have that recipe again…oh, no!’ Oh, no–is right. ---

I would just like to thank you, jjjfishe, for sharing your Copacabana hell with me. Probably the only thing that will cure me is to go home, throw in my Pure Prairie League CD, and crank Amie. Not that I really think that’ll be any better, but at least it’ll be a change. I can almost hear it already… Amie, what’cho wanna do? I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do… AGH! Kill me. ---
