I just laughed and said “ that’s funny”…her smile bigger and words enunciated with a little silly punch…”six dollars for an all day pass…” she emphasized, I laughed again.

I like the night…listening to the haunting winds of singer David Gray’s voice crawling out of the speakers on my desk. I think Tom Snyder’s Late, Late Show, which ran from 1995-1999, with Tom as the host (hand picked by…more
