Holy shit. Jaimie successfully quoted somebody.

Princess Valium would you like to join me in a rendition of a much loved song then?

I am the very model of a modern Major-General, I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral...
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical from Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical.

I'm very well acquainted too with matters mathematical. I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical...
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot of news, with many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

Welcome fellow Illinoisan!! And cool to have another Nicole. There is another uber cool Nicole from Chicagoland who I see at local shows and spent some time with on last year's cruise (plus she is going again this month). There is also Nikki (who maybe is also a Nicole

) and Noel who live in the city as I do and will also be on this month's cruise. All super great ladies you'd like to meet.

Have a great time - you & your husband will love it!!

I played drums for a good many years, but I feel I never reached any high level of competence. I did record a 4-song demo, which remains one of the highlights of my life.
