That song often ran through my head, and I thought it was a terrible name for an athletic team. But I loved watching American Bandstand, and Barry Manilow's song, American Bandstand, is pretty darn catchy. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. You were a cute baby. Or is that Ike?

You could give the place personality, that would punch it up a bit. 'The hospital saw', along those lines. And full stops are your friends :-). When you start putting them in place you'll begin to red pen yourself. <br />Print it out at 14pt double space, that way you'll see the snakes tails drop phrases in further down the body.

Unfortunately, the only writing class that has been offered near me is one on writing romance novels by my neighbor up the street and one of her former students who also lives in town. Although the latter author/teacher is classified as a romance novelist, her novels are a little bit more hard core such as one called "Ganged in the Locker Room"!
