My trough of sloth????? SLOTH???????!!! You do me a grave injustice, sir! Here I am making 3 meals a day for my invalid mother, making sure she gets her medications, cleaning and managing the house, running my business, doing the yardwork, driving a wheelchair-bound buddy to the bank, AND finding time to make fun of Mudcat poltroons such as yourself in the bargain!

A heroic effort, sir, and one which you would do well not to slander.

Alas, I cannot possibly come to the Getaway for 2 reasons:

1. I'm much too busy here.
2. My passport is expired. Homeland Security wouldn't like that.
