Crystals, wow, smart, funny and if your picture is not faux--just ravishing. You might enjoy a tour of Chattanooga as we have history galore down here, or we can do a home and home deal. Yeah, I'd put Bill Harrison (ETB and NYT) on my watch list too--My Neighborhood Watch List! I called Bill one time, and he damn near dropped the phone in his lap from fright or love, I'm not sure.
