What’s playing on the iPod right now? STAR WARS (MAIN TITLE) by John Williams

About Me
- Agent Kristin
- A nice Midwesterner breaks free of her genteel upbringing and says what's on her mind--politely of course--some habits are really hard to break. And one last thing, Pub Rants is shorthand for Publishing Rants. No Irish Pub involved--unless you want one to be!
