    Hi Becky - I finally added a header to my blog (http://richgelina.blogspot.com) from Disneyland. It's from the resort where we stayed last summer and it was amazing! Just wanted to let you know.

    I do love some Pink Floyd! Growing up, my older brother listened to Pink Floyd all the time, but I didn't really appreciate their music till about 7 or 8 years ago. The whole Wish you Were Here album is an album I must have "cranked to 11". Oh, and I think Syd Barret is Pink and Roger Waters is Floy

    So you're a Pink Floyd fan!!! I love Pink Floyd. And Shine On You Crazy Diamond is one of my favorite songs too. I just thought you were way too young to even know who Pink Floyd is. "The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.Oh, by the way, which one's Pink?"
