Allison, this was the perfect day for the shawl to arrive.
You know, as bummed as I can get about humanity in general, somebody goes and does something like this, and it blows my bad mood all to hell.

I need revenge, and I SHALL HAVE IT! Be warned, MMario. Here is a subtle hint:

The shawl-maker's work is more than it seems;
The yarn is the stuff of wishes and dreams.
There's compassion and love in each delicate strand,
Touched by the shawl-maker's hand.
