I love you Ian Jeffery. You make me smile more times than you make me frown.

You know what they say about it taking more muscles to frown than to smile, Dear--I'm just looking out for you, really; I don't want you overexerting yourself.

P.S. I'm not really mad, but once you reminded me of those superb lyrics I can't help quote them...

Dave and Busters? No. That adventure might make a Top Five List at some point, but it would surely fall under a different title...

And no worries about the Chinese-American girlfriend: every attempt at world peace will experience some setbacks.
