My ISP problems continue. This is my hasty recap. The end-of-hour extras were absent on my single copy. The extras are usually identical on AT20, but that does not seem possible this week. Of course, feel free to post the missing songs.

Hey Casey,
I have a 12 year-old daughter that I have hurt. I don't know when & I don't know how, but I have really devastated her. I've damaged her trust in me. I don't know how to get through to her that I'm so sorry, and that she is more precious to me than diamonds or gold. I will do whatever it takes to regain her trust. I need to see her happy again. I need to hear her say "I love you" again. She has to know that I will never give up. Please play "Whatever It Takes" for Emily?
Her Mom
