Who says there are? I hear the same things today I heard 40 years ago. I am in Oakland for a court appointment tomorrow. Then back to Los Angeles for the Drapers to celebrate the wins. Last weekend it was Jackie and Tom who celebrated, and next weekend it is us. That does not sound like we don't get along, or we don't welcome others. We always take some of the cake to the homeless in the park, but maybe that doesn't count. Evan In a message dated 4/3/2014 2:24:27 P.M.
