I’m leaving in a little while on a trip to visit family members. I’ll be gone overnight, so there will be no news feed this evening.

While I’m gone, Dymphna will hold the fort. Better mind your manners: she’s stricter with comments than I am.

No stubbing your cigars out on the antimacassars this time! Mind the Chippendale, and please crate up all your empty Tsingtao bottles and take them with you.
