I'd like to meet:
Jillian. For a beer. Now. Oh...but she's off being a poetrix, flailing her arms about her head to fend off fellowships. Dang...I'd settle, however, for being locked in an elevator with Mr.Stephen Colbert, a copy of The Economist, and a bar of Valrhona Grand Cru Araguani. If there is a God...
