Welcome back Gary! You have experienced the hostess with the mostest. She makes everyone feel so at home in that strange old town. Say hello to the motor city for me. It's been years since I have been there. I lived at 9306 Wyoming back in the day. There was a crack house there my last time thru. BTW I vote for letting Carnival out for the covers project.
