Congrats! How about "How You Like Me Now" by The Heavy as an instrumental?

That's fantastic. Congrats to you and SO cool of your wife.

Following is my suggestion:

Give Chad Smith a ring and see what he's up to that night....or...do we have a Mustang grad rocker of this stature?

You should be so lucky MryDel! Her birthday gift to me last year was a 1955 Austin Healey ice blue sports car!

That is really cool. My wife gave me 3 gallons of paint so I can redo the living room.

Morgan is a classic car. I had a 1956 Healey when I was at SMU in the 50s.

I am well aware of the car. That is why I want her gifting me in the future. You deserve some time off from all the excitement.

You know if SMU is up say 25 or 26 to 4 at the time you direct, maybe a song will come to mind.
