Gee, I guess that's where the bad parts I didn't get this week went to.
Sorry so much befell you at once, Gunthar dear.  Sometimes life just goes
all yuck like that.  Lucky you though, *WE* are all here!  Well, at least
for another week or so, when most of us will pack off to go to war (or play
as the case may be).  But, your coming too, aren't you?  If so, look me up
and I'll give you a wee hug and perhaps a marzipan treat.
