Andrea . . . dear balocny smoking buddy :) . . .
I have some lonely furniture, a TV and a book with your name
on them--my kids used crayons so it should come off with a
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser :)

Call me, dear. We'll do lunch and I'll pass off some good
quality stuff to you outa the trunk of my car; I'll wear one
of those hats and talk with a Bogart accent.
