According to Sandy in Michigan, she and her husband Bob, a doctor, were both absolutely irate that I had the gall to appear on national TV (Saturday’s “Today” show)  thinking I could attract a husband by wearing a football jersey!  With red fingernails, no less!!!!!!

I’m scheduled to appear on “Today” again on Monday ,- and from what the gals have to say, I should probably just skip the football jersey, and if I insist on a sports theme to my outfit, I’m thinking maybe I should throw a helmet over my hair.
