Thanks! I will put that massage to such good use! Funny thing is I actually know that massage therapist; she's an old friend of my mom, who incidentally, will be very jealous!
It's good to know it can pay to live here your whole life and always be sad when familiar old places disappear and are replaced by townhouses, parking garages, prefab mansions, and ever more ostentatious diner facades!
Thanks again!

Happy birthday, Liz! I didn't enter the contest because I was stumped. And, by the time I got un-stumped last night, I was too buzzed to care anymore and fell asleep.
Congrats to all the winners, nonetheless!
