Well, there were a couple people with their eyes closed when I was finished, but I think I just had bored them to sleep.<br /><br />Terri - Thanks! Will you sit in the front row during my HBO special and laugh real hard when the camera shines on you?<br /><br />Kathleen - "Unique presentation style."
