I'd divorce her but that's just me.

Is that the Late Show that Letterman hosted or Leno? You can tell I don't watch television often. I'll watch this when I'm in more of a romantic mood. I think it would go over my head at the moment.

I was going to say I love the light fixtures. I didn't see it was reproduction Tiffany. I love the dragonfly motif. It is among my favorite animal motifs along with geckos, frogs, and beetles. Well done!

RFK Jr. was on Epstein's plane but he just needed a ride.
