Time I stopped being a curmudgeon about signs of appreciation
Everybody has to grow up some time, I guess. I've had many barn stars, but this one touched my heart. It made me feel all fluffy and new. The official video of Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" is just a first order approximation of how it affected me. The trouser flares should be much wider, the Afro should be about the size of the moon. The beat should merit a notation in your medical records with implications for any future cardio-thoracic exploration.

Why no Facebook? Because I don't do it.
And no, I don't receive an excessive amount of unwanted email just because I publish my email address. Seriously, how could I expect people to communicate with me if they didn't know where to send the messages? Shame on you if you conceal your email address. Yes, I mean it.
