[AT] funny..

[Larry Goss]

If you lived in Zanesville, then you know of Tom's Ice Cream Bowl.  
My wife introduced me to the establishment when we first started 
dating (at about the time you left town).  I go back and have a 
Black & White Special No. 3 everytime I get a chance.  Back in the 
60's the price was only $1.35.  Now, it's over $4.00, but it is 
still "to die" for.

We stopped in for dinner at Tom's last Tuesday on our trip east.  
We're stopping in tomorrow for lunch on the way home.  Life is good!
