[Dreamboat] Cracker Barrel

[Francie Trout]

I guess I've never been "far south" enough to been to a Cracker Barrel.  I 
heard about the controversy about the restaurant.  It just doesn't seem like 
my kind of place to go.

As for A&N and Deana doing a song for this album, it's my thinking 
management wanted to get them together on a song to market them on their 
"down time", between albums and tour....keeping their name out there so when 
Ann's solo album comes out, you'll remember.  The same with Deana.  In my 
Publicity and Promotions class, we're working on Media Stragedy....LOL!

I hope everyone had a nice Halloween.  I'm in the mist of midterms right now 
with 5 more weeks until finals (a final paper, two tests) and two projects 
to do.  The time is flying by....Thanksgiving is early this year, just 3 
weeks away!  Where is the time flying to?  I probably should of did grad 
school years ago when I was younger.  The schedule this quarter is taking 
its toll on me.  I feel like I spend my time communting on a train all the 
time to and from school and my internship (which is going well.)  I have no 
social life and any free time I have, you can find me sleeping!  At least I 
will be finished my MS in March and I'll finish up the MBA by next fall.  
I'm almost done!

Take care...
Francie
