assistant: Good evening Ms. Stewy!
    Happy New Year a few days late!
...
    KeWl!
    Still having trouble, eh?
    I never heard of Saga...  :)
    Depends on the circumstances, don't you think?  I could get in real
trouble (of the best kind) on the floor, under a Christmas tree with my
girlfriend, a bottle of wine, and Styx playing "Lonely Child" or maybe
something by Bon Jovi or Julia Fordham's _Stay_.
    When we were young, carefree, and didn't know any better.  You were
what, 11 in '73?  And I was 19...
    We'll let you slide this time.  Do you mean you don't like "I Wanna
Hold Your Hand"?
    Oh oh.  :(
    It's a Chuckasarus in drag.  ;)
    Ah, one not in my collection...
    Oh well!
    It just means I've had longer to listen to good music!
