Substitute "foolhardy" for "brave" and I'm with you, my friend. It took a
little longer than I hoped, but here we are. Older and crazier and saner.
And I second the motion about our mutual friend. I'd say more but I have to
see him at 5:30 and I need him manageable.

As for you, King Rat. My thoughts are with you. Take care of yourself.
