Btw, I will be out of pocket and in Rome for the next 12 days getting a heavy dose of your former religion, and disengaged from American politics, probably near totally. Not that anyone will notice or care about my absence. Reality is a touch sister. :)
I'll certainly notice, and will likely be consumed with envy when you don't reply to my next ratings ping.
Have a great trip!
Have a good time in Rome. I'm sure it's nice this time of year.
