I take heart in the fact that there is a character limit and Rapaire has probably reached it, so we are not likely to note anymore self-flattering adjectives appended to his name.

Since Mom is spending with me Rapaire, so there was no need to post greetings to her. She was a little upset that you were too cheap pay her air fare to DC, but now that she has opened all the lovely and expensive gifts and is basking warmly in the presence of those who truly care for her, she is much consoled.
