Well, this explains why nobody should ever take my advice on any matters
pertaining to romance, or relationships.   Not that I'll stop giving it, of
course.

Well, one of my math TA's at Wright State attended her brother-in-law's
wedding, and Ric was a featured performer.   I remember nothing so far as
details, though.   She was a gorgeous math teacher.   mmmm.

Hey!   'Epitaph' is only 9 minutes, 28 seconds!  It's not like I said 'An
Index Of Metals', which is 26 minutes, or the 'Atom Heart Mother Suite', which
is almost half an hour, IIRC.   So what if TRSOG is 19 minutes.   I can play
that while shaking hands at least, can't I?

I'll probably have OTR's 'Dancing Queen' cover played, just for fun.  ;-)

PS - And now everyone has far too much insight into why I'm perpetually
single.


PPS - I'm going to see Vanilla Ice in concert tonight.


PPPS - WOO-HOO!
