It’s like surround-sound. <BR/><BR/>While part of me is tempted to say “Poor Woody” at the end, I honestly think he’s better off without her. And while it took him three weeks to buy a new Manfred Mann CD, it probably took three more years to learn that lesson. But I’d be willing to bet he did learn it.
