Yes. It's not like Whitney Houston.

Who is Jimmy Webb?

And with one of those intense NY accents I hear on movies I'm sure it sounds interesting...

No idea, so I Wikipediad him:

Next time you meet Steph in person, have her say "Houston."

Oh wow, the guy has a real accomplished career and I am just now hearing about him. I feel bad. He should write a song and have Ewan perform it.

S.A.S.H.A. · 03-27-2016, 11:01 PM

Will do. But you'll be there to say it, too.

Seriously.

**LilMouse** · 03-28-2016, 08:11 AM

I hope so. I need more vacation days. Steph is leaving for Seattle tomorrow. I'm not going because I don't get enough vacation.

My mind is making up a story where they're writing a Broadway play for Ewan to star in.
