This will be my last communication from Abraham Lincoln to the world in general. *sniff* I don't want to leave my poor little computer in boxes for a month. I mean, my parents have a much better computer (which they don't need, but that's the way the cookie crumbles, I guess) but it's not Abe. It's not mine. It just doesn't have the same feel, and I don't know all its little quirks, so they keep taking me by surprise.

In any case, that is a tangent along which we do not need to speculate at this time. Suffice it to say: I am away to sunnier climes, and will be back to dazzle with my wit and wisdom in about 48. Ciao, tutti.
