Hi Gram

I'm half awake . .. .

Hello Drea,

It is either that or that grape juice has turned into something very strong and unforgettable.

Yep, this is unforgettable. I love the new lines. Perfect for a parallel universe somewhere. Now if we can just tune into that channel and get there. We'll be set for life.

Have a great week.

'Drea,

You should be writing for Saturday Night Live and others of the same ilk. What an improvement that would be. Your talent is certainly not wasted here; however, there are millions more who would certainly appreciate it.
