Why John, please allow me to alay any concerns you may harbor that I found your objections to my appreciation of Moe's comic strip about Billy Mays untimely demise in any way offensive. That was the furthest thing on my mind, young sir. You see, it was I, and I alone, who brought up the issue of my possibly being "addled with old age"(a distinct possiblity to be sure, BTW), and it was only meant as a joke at my expense.

(yep...I sincerely hope that any misunderstanding about this matter will not change what I feel has been the overwhelming positive dynamics of any relationship we may have formed during these past few years)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
