The wonderful neighbors we have, Amy Don and Cheryl in particular. I couldn't ask to live by a better pair of lesbians.

Couldn't possibly forget the guitarists: Jason, Kirk, Jeff, and let's throw in Tom, who doesn't play but acts like it.

Gotta mention Bob, Rick, All The Starbucks People, Henry E., John T., Tracey with C., and Robert.

Let's get to the critters: Humphrey, Mandy, Chauncey Billups, Tigger, Sammy Sosa, and Ciabatta.

Also thanks to the good folks at Samizdata, quite possibly the best site in the world, and therefore one of the best things in the universe. One day I'm going to write something, and they're going to link to it.

Good health. Good job. Good truck. Plenty to do. Barack is gaining on Hillary. My glass is at least half full.
