Cool email with a message, thought I'd share...

[Guest guest]

Hello All,Someone sent this email to me today. I've seen it b4, but thought it was nice enough to pass along to the group. I'm doing my best to stay out of the heat by playing with my new iPOD. Loves it, mucho much!! Whoever came up with the iPOD idea, gets a big kiss from me. I was waiting in the waiting room at 's Hopkins for an hour and a half today. Yes, I was pissed, but at least I had music to listen to while I seethed. I guess music does soothe the savage beast or b*tch.
