- Why, Geoff! Thanks so much for the description. It's really
- refreshing. I realize now that I am, well, a scumbag, and that
- my behavior of the last ten years merits me nothing less than
- a full-fledged exhibit in the hall of shame. And if the Dead *do*
- play Vegas, and I *do* go, well heck, you *know* I'll smiling
- courteously but not so much as to freak people out *and* wash my
- fellow travelers good luck and God bless hourly, if not minutely.
- Did I say "wash"? Oh, I apologize. I do.
