Speaking for myself, I'd opt out for something more traditional like Cab Calloway's "Jump and Jive". I got a hernia just watching the Nicholas brothers tappa tappa tappa to it in the movie "Stormy Weather".

Hey Carol!

Hopefully this time around there won't be the same side effect. I hate stinkin' side effects. Far too often they are worse than the disease.

Wishing you well ... again. Second time is the charm. :-)

Life is good,
