    Oh!, Mona

    "Sir, I am an excellent correspondent, and if I failed to answer some question or other, it was the merest oversight. Resend to new email address:......"

    "I trust this will end all suggested stains on my character or reasons for eschewing those painful fishnet hose."

    We shall see how excellent you are. Check your mail.

    I'll be leaving in about 15 hours and a lot of that time will be spent sleeping and doing calisthenics so that I don't injure myself either looking up Pedinska's skirt or doing the Hully Gully while partly sober.
