[Groop] Groop Card Info

[Chris Schechner]

One of my buddies was standing outside his pub as a riot was going on in
Derry, as mayhem and fights were breaking out all about him and he turned to
his friend and quoted the Van Morrison song, ³don¹t you wish every day could
be like today?² Sometimes it just takes humor (humour) to overcome some
things.

Cheers,
Glorko
