Well seeing that no one has yet to comment on your most recent posting, I thought I'd take the privilage (I mean really, you've got to have some hot fingers to be first of thousands to comment). Anyway, good work on the happiness list...a very nice touch. I must admit though, I still get a large kick out of seeing Mr. Pants and his senior class photo--that beauty's priceless. Oh ya, and this is Kurt signed in as Tina, if you couldn't tell by the style of writing!
What a great list. Seriously made my day. Thanks!
