Good morning. Maybe. Me, I feel terrible — I'm suffering under the nastiest cold I've had in years. Happily, my laying around on the couch all day yesterday allowed me to put this video together. I kept pecking away at it throughout the day and, eventually, it was done. Miraculous.

Anyway, please enjoy. Now I need to go empty out the unusually viscous contents of my lungs into a small tree's worth of tissue. Yum.
