They gave me a bunch of that low-calorie Budweiser so I could phyllite.

Guess what!? I have returned! I have walked through the valley of the shadow of death and I didn't fear nobody. I flew many, many miles; I motored many, many miles; and I walked and I crawled on six crooked highways. I was out in front of seven sad oceans. And now I have returned.

I was in Utah, Missouri, Illinois, Missouri, Illinois, Missouri, and Utah before I got back. I saw people I haven't seen for some time. I helped my niece gradiate from college. I saw my nephew's new house. I saw the new Lincoln Museum and Presidential Library (do go if you get the change -- see "The Ghost in the library" for a WONDERFUL example of what holography can do).

Ain'cha glad to have me back? Mom is. She told me so, and she also said that I was her favorite ("favourite", in non-English-speaking countries).
