Love's fickle flame flickers fleetingly...

I suppose at this point I'm to 'tag' another party? Alas, no one really reads this blog and the only two bloggers I have actually met before have already been tagged. I'm sure I'll be breaching some blogger etiquette here but I'll let this grape whither on the vine...

Great answers...bummer about your cell phone. Maybe you could call it and see if someone answers. It would be just like that Seinfeld episode. :)
