ok its friday which means its ask tony

leave your questions at the beep

and since this is karisas birthday week feel free to ask questions about

my feelings about boston, tea parties, tea bags,

the red sox, the white sox, the celtics, the ladys i mean the bradys

manny, big papi, schilling the republican

the fires in santa barbara, listening to reggae at horse racing tracks

or anything your mind leads to
