Love that song, Matthew..."You can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself." I believe it's from "Garden Party" by Ricky Nelson, isn't it? My favorite books are nonfiction and deal with mysteries, oceanography, archaeology and history. Sounds boring to some, but this is what draws my interest. Thanks for asking! Love, Carolyn

Oh, this one is reminding me of that small song from Simon and Garfunkel? Or did I get that completely wrong?? I am originally from Iowa but have now lived most of my life in Utah since marrying and getting stuck out here. haha. I was in NYC once. Do you live near the big apple. It's a really cool city!
