	3:27am Joe: Sorry I'm not playing Turkish music instead of Italian by way of the U.K.! Thanks for checkin' in. Look forward to at least one good recommendation later.
	3:51am Sue: Hey, Joe! Good morning! How are you?
	3:52am Joe: Hey, Sue! How is you??
	3:57am Sue: I'm good. Got a hectic morning ahead of me, graduation stuff... what's new by you?
	4:04am Joe: You graduatin'? School of hard knocks?
	4:07am Sue: In a way... :) I gotta travel to Queens and I'm not exactly next door.
	4:09am Joe: Aren't you in Seattle?? No, wait--you moved, right?
	4:11am Sue: Wow, you certainly have a good memory. Yes, I moved back here. No more west coast for me, not for awhile anyway. At least I'm up early and able to catch your show again.
	4:14am Joe: I'm surprised! You should get some rest for your graduation, otherwise you'll be all stumbly on the platform. Are you going to paint something funny on your hat?
	4:18am Sue: Well, the thing is, before the ceremony, I'm also picking up a coworker in Summit, about an hour away, and I gotta be there by about 7:30. ugh... need coffee... and, yeah, I hadn't thought about painting something on my hat. Any suggestions?
	4:20am Joe: How about "Hire Me"?
	4:23am Sue: lol... that's a good one. i don't know if i have the guts to do that though
	4:28am Sue: i really like that When the World Turns song but i haven't heard it before. is it from something? i feel like i should know it.
	4:29am Joe: It DOES sound familiar....I
	4:36am Joe: Any ideas, Sue? I can't think of it, but it's back there in my brain...
	4:48am Sue: i was thinking that maybe i was confusing it with soap operas or something. the band name and song title sound like soap operas, don't they?
	4:50am Joe: Oh, yeah! "As the World Turns" was on for years. Too bad that wasn't the theme song!
	5:13am Sue: i was thinking From Here to Eternity also but that's a movie, oops
	5:20am Joe: Yeah, Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr on the beach!
	5:28am Sue: Is that a good movie?
