We were away for the summer and, just reading all of the fan mail, I know you missed us. We moved about the globe and vacationed, (and you did it, too!) but we're back in the cyberslack and it's all true.

It is almost as though something underneath all the activity pursued actively challenges me to put two things together and to find out how they match. Because, of course, they do.
