Morning, Jeanne. Oh, I won't give up on Ally -- I LOVE the show -- I'm just
not always sure why!!! It fascinates me, I guess. You're right about Nell.
This thing between her and John really has me going. For some reason, I
adore John -- sort of like I do Niles on Frasier. Yes, I'll continue with
my duties as the Ally McBeal "summarizer," although I feel you are really
more qualified. You seem to have more insight. You're right about the
short bald guy, by the way. LOL Love, Kathy
