And lightened his wallet a bit too. Of course, we all know what she did with that money-- got herself a nose job, that she later had to protect from Tonya Harding's left hook

Too bad Clinton didn't seem to learn anything from his mistakes (or mis-deeds) . . .

Fantasia, my all time favorite Disney movie.

I think the Vietnam Memorial was one of the most moving experiences I've ever had.

Thanks, as always, Deb.
