    I both hope and fear that I may turn into a clone of Sharonna in the future. 

    I LOVE Flo and her machine.

    "Taking Care of Business"

    "Looking Out for Number One"

    -- both of those are by Bachman Turner Overdrive

    I really like that group


    "Things Can Only Get Better"

    "No One Is To Blame"   

    -- both of these are by Howard Jones

    I really like Howard Jones, too. I've seen him in concert twice.

    Well, it's a bit of a stretch, but I like the lyrics of "We Just Disagree"---There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy, there's only you and me and we just disagree.
