   LOL. Funny, Liz.

    “Champagne Supernova” by Oasis
    Also, more U2, “Walk On” which is what our readers are doing…

    But we do have some great tech folks working on it, so I’m thinking “Like a Rock” and even “O Fortuna,” which has a rather victorious sound, even though it’s about the whims of fortune…

    I’ve got to chip in here with “All Choked Up” - Say Anything:
    Do you hear me now?
    Could you see me now?
    Could you save me now?
    I’m choking… I’m choking…

    Which of course, naturally leads to the “Tommy” classic

    See me
    Hear me
    Touch me
    Feel me.

    thanks Jen!

    Bedtime in the Maritimes… so I’ll leave you with the thought of a little Chris de Burgh, “Ship to Shore” - “Do you read me anymore? This line is bad and fading…”

    As I was reading through your list I thought, “Ground Control to Major Tom.”

    And there it was at the bottom, included already. Heh.

    Glad you’re back with us, Liz.

    Just to clarify, “No Attention” above was a reference to my audience not being able to give me any because the site was down.

    The b5 tech guys paid undivided attention to this issue and worked insanely hard to get it fixed. These things happen, and I know our guys are top notch under pressure.

    Hi Brian!
    That’s exactly what I heard. Yeah the guys are still working.

    Man, they’ve gotta be exhausted by now.

    Liz, I figured there were problems when I couldn’t get in on several tries yesterday. Glad it’s all been cleared up.

    However, I’m surprised that no one else has suggested:

    “Houston, we have a problem.”
