I'll worry about that the day I get a driver's license. If there's been no claim to it, I'd welcome the idea of Ambassadoress of Long Island. Speaking of which. If anyone just happens to be bored and would like to do something one day during the summer in Manhattan, let me know. Now that school's out (and I have my computer some what back), I have more time to do things. Just a thought. Could run amuck in the city and do stuff. Stuff is good.
