I hear you. I do. What line of work are you in because I think you would make one hell of a psychologist. You did it. Erased him from our memory. Posters cut to size for the dart board. Out with the old and in with the new (if only that worked with the wife).

Tahu Tahu Tahu!!!!!!

I think my daughter though will be a PJ fan.

Bring on 2005.
