assistant: Hello Chuck,
 Why thank you!
 Where ya been hiding?<VBG>
 ...
 Yes I am! But that is life with a computer I guess..
 OH? Never heard of Saga! Tsk, tsk!!! <VBG>
 They are a good group from the 80's!
  She likes all these things does she?
  Well xmas is over now...trees will be coming down; won't they?
  You seem to know your girlfriend's music preferences quite well!
 And your point would be?  At 11 I was listening to the Bee Gees, Aprilwine,
 Kiss, Aerosmith! What were you listening to?
 I said I don't own any of the Beatles music; not that I don't like their
 songs! I do like their songs; just not enough to buy their music I guess!
 Better choices to be made for me!
 Netmail keeps getting bounced back...
 Cute! Is that like a cross between a dinosaur and a thesaurus?
 Well then you're missing a good album,,,
 Yes it does...and more of it!
 You seem to listen to this one quite a bit; any particular reason why?
 Just a good album I guess eh?
 TTYL....Stewy
... Elvis is alive and doing my laundry.
