:: The Wild Boy is home sick today. Having four days off in a row was just too much for his system, apparently.:: The Boy is sick down at Longwood. That is The Worst. I hate it. I can't do anything about it. So I sent him the phone number for his ear doc up [...]

It starts all happy and cheery and ends...well...you get it.:: Scott, my new hair wizard, pronounced my hair "best. hair. ever."
