BS: Mending the Micca:

Subject: BS: Mending the Micca:
From: Fortunato

Friends of the Micca, our chum has had a rough patch, medically, that is, and I propose we form a virtual healing circle and restore to him to full health and manly beauty.

Gather in close and take my hand and send some warm thoughts and healing vibes to my friend with me.

thanks
