This is what we're up against every damned second of every damned day of every damned year. Still, the pun was irresistible.

Anyway, King Pork's gonna be gone all day at a job interview a couple of towns over as your hunter-gatherer chases down a QC gig.

I've heard stories that there's gonna be a little shindig on Boston Common today that's supposed to be the first anniversary of Bridgewater State Hospital's mental patients' Great Escape or something like that.

See you later and play nice or no dessert tonight.
