And the crowd said "Amen."<br /><br />Cooper - Thanks. Revisionist history can be much more fun at times. Also convenient, especially when referring to relationship history.<br /><br />Sweetest In The Gale - Thanks! Mom has to alternate between mac & cheese (my favorite) and shells & cheese (blah, my sister's favorite). <br /><br />Blondie - No, I don't know. What do they say about Mt. Dew? Actually, I'm a Sun Drop guy myself. But Mt. Dew is the more widely observed beverage of the family.<br /><br />I know what you mean. I'd give anything to spend another holiday with my grandmothers.<br /><br />Pia Savage - I'm pretty sure there is Diet Sun Drop, though I've never had it. I think it comes in more of a white can.<br /><br />LOL I hereby do proclaim you frequent commenter of the month. Don't rest on your laurels :)<br /><br />PennyCandy - I think I consider NY northeast. Then again, Nashville is north to me :)<br /><br />Thanks. I thought we might end up playing TCU there for awhile. You would've been able to score me tix, right?<br /><br />TC - I never dreamed I'd have women ASKING me to do a football post :) I thought ya'll mostly just tolerated my sports posts.<br /><br />OKC - Um, what awful news? Did something happen to Jason Morgan?<br /><br />Oh, you mean about <i>As The World Turns</i>? No worries. That's not my soap :)<br /><br />Murf - A little needy, are we? <br /><br />I wonder if anyone else was thinking the same thing and you were the only one sweet enough to 'ment.<br /><br />Anonymous - Thanks for the kind words. No, I'm not a journalist.
