You guys are having an awful lot of fun!
Splendid. Not in any way startling, but definitely splendid :-)
Songbird is wonderful -- I love hearing from her. Tell her hi from me. Not sure if you will check your blog in the next 30 mins. -- just wanted to remind you "Scrubs" starts tonight at 9 (maybe 90 mins. in your case -- time zone difference?). Couldn't remember if you or PPB were the big "Scrubs" fan...
