I can't believe I'm below the line (or is it below the belt?) And I surely can't keep up with you creative funny guys.

I cannot tell a lie. My sirname does not begin with an "O" but rather a lowly and slender "I". And I am taking Irish, and in the so-called advanced class, where we are daily learning how much more complex the Irish language is than we'd ever imagined it could possibly be in our most demented nightmares.

I was embarrassed the other day to discover that I'd been talking to Rapparee for over an hour before he laid down enough clues for me to figure out who he was. And no, I've never worked in the Neversweat. It's all a myth and maybe even a conspiracy out to besmirch my sterling reputation.

Anyway, greetings to all of you out there in Mudland. I'm hoping I can make it to the Getaway this year and see some of you in person.

Cheers,

David
