Sorry, thought I heard a bell so I had to leave a comment (and salivate). Q-less? Muy espooky, as someone recently said. I look forward to your posts in this blog.

Dang. Heard it again. I can help adding that Russell Baker wrote a book I had to buy based on the title alone: "So This Is Depravity." Amen.

Erratum: Substitute "can't" for "can" in the above post. Okay, I'm done now.

Nice to have you around, hulles.
