Okay. Three words have moved me to respond --"absentia," "bottoms," and "fester," a word that downright warms the wobbly bits, don't you agree?

Rather than Lady Absentia, I am quickly becoming known in familiar circles as Lady Dementia. Case in point: I have no recollection whatsoever of ever meeting a Kanga, a Viking, a Talent, or a Sonja. I am, however, quite cozy with Pathos, but since Pathos has apparently gone missing (again), I shall strike off in search of the peripatetic god of distress and sadness. See you when I return from the Abyss. Think I'll need an umbrella?
