How come everybody thinks Zach is so great.  I could go meet him if I wanted to!!!  Well, maybe if he'd promise to buy me a REAL rootbeer float.   :beer1;

Joke, joke, joke. :flower; :flower;

Hmm, never thought of it that way Gail.  You make good points.  Maybe I should try and make friends with him and hang out of something.
