Some good looking guy in a tux: "and the annual "Let Off award" goes to....." ( drum roll...) The same good looking guy in a tux: Michelle Stranges!!- for "the coolest thing on the planet"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Me: "oh gosh- geez, oh blimey- holy crap, awww shucks.... wow.... HEH!!! First and formost- I'd like to thank all of my piano teachers and most especially my mom, David Betts, Jack Stebbins, Cristine Lovgren, Don McKechnie, David Skolnik and Ken Williams. ( Paul Kupelian only a little bit..) (sniff-sniff- tears.... sobs... escort off the stage for mentioning Paul Kupelian) Folks- I know you're all jealous- but I thought you should all know that I received in the mail today the most thoughtfull gift. "The Golden Let-Off Screw Award" from George W. Bushing himself!! His sidekick birdseye boy Ed Sutton- sent me a gold painted let off screw glued onto a front punching. I was totally shocked and speechless- **especially when I opened the mailer and saw a small tube of pvc pipe/potential bomb**. But imagine my surprise when I (got enough courage to open it and) saw this award! Thank you Ed- ya silly fruit!! Think the PTG will allow us to present it formally at next years National?? :) :B My dress was made by Vera Young Chang Wang and my jewelry was made from agraffes,bridge pins and underlever leads. THanx again Ed. :) Michelle
