Ohhh Mon,

This is neat. I'm gonna do one!

By the way, if your MidAtlantic city is my MidAtlantic city, I feel your pain.

Tamika--I did not shed a tear when I had to leave Southern City and move to MidAtlantic for college. But I cried like a baby when I had to leave your city. I was so torn up I booked a hotel room to stay an extra night!!
