Thanks guys. I am going dressed nice beard combed, solemn in silence, and a strong shoulder if need be to lean on.

I can't go on avoiding these things anyway, so I'll man up and go.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
