And boy! I know how much he loved beer, just like Edgar Allan Poe. Too bad you were not a beer drinker then. You must have more stories to tell and blogs to write.<BR/><BR/>mausqi@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37435364.post-52634375473799925332007-05-13T14:32:00.000-04:002007-05-13T14:32:00.000-04:00Hey Diorelle.Yes, please link me up.
