Delighted to see it! It can only bode well for the future tone of your posts . . . for a week or two anyway . . . (:>)

PS: Was that your place of employment I saw in a very entertaining viral video currently making its way around? If so, it was very, very well done.

Thanks, Michael.

Alan - My eyes bleed with the talent and big names.

Katey - I feel like I just party crashed.

Brendan - Thanks. I'm not sure about the video...I'm out of the loop on that one.
