I'm still pretty out of it, so I'd best not ramble at this point. I was going to promise to be extra incoherent next go 'round to help make up for the "loss," but I realize I've probably posted enough extra incoherent stuff in this space to last a lifetime, so there's no sense in trying to balance the books. Ooops I'm rambling already. See how naturally it comes? On to the Ls of the D:
