I will be disappointed if that is your decision, only because you clearly are a "player" and it would probably be fun to toss Austen ideas around with you, even if you insist on calling me boi. ;)Arnie Perlsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720424361279466002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436417288060370638.post-73841495835921467142007-07-26T09:55:00.000-04:002007-07-26T09:55:00.000-04:00Kelly,I'd be happy to discuss this--email me.
