I don't think anyone took you that seriously Bobby we were just having a little fun, sorry that it came across that way!
Now I will tell you about my fruitless search for Michael Franks.... The only places around here to shop are mega stores.. which I hate with a passion. They also throw my entire equilibrium off. I go in looking for soy milk, and end up getting lost in the baby clothes section, am overwhelmed by the 1500 kinds of toothpaste and end up completly lost frustrated and generally walk out empty handed not remembering what I needed until I get back home.
Well this time as I walked there I was thinking about the search for meaning in life.. which led me to thinking about a book I'd read called "man's search for meaning" by Victor Frankl. After entering the future shop where I'd planned to by the C.D. I was frazzled by the displays of D.V.Ds Ink jet printers and Michael Franks name turned into Victor Franks... which of course I couldn't find anywhere. I asked the 12year old cashier if she had any music by (the name had morphed once more) into Victor Frankl.
She said she didn't think so, and fortunately I don't think she knew who Victor Frankl was, just assumed he was some obscure musician. So I left. When I got home of course I thought "oh I'm such a dolt it was Michael Franks, not Victor Frankl. So the lesson I have learned is WRITE THINGS DOWN, its a hard lesson because I've never had to do that before. But next time I venture out into Mega Store Mecca I will probably have better luck.Gabbi"don't call me babe" Gabbi
