Say hey Peggy.  Saw your email re: carnival and just thought I'd let you
know;  because of that, I now have "Summer Nights" from "Grease" (chorus -
"Tell me more, tell me more...") doing that loopy ear-worm repetitive thing
in my mind. Thank you sooo much. Going to be laughing all the way to the
sanitarium now. Hahaaa!
