[George M. Middius[_4_]]

Somehow, Arnii, you made it through 2008 without getting your cranial
superstructure bashed in. God knows you deserve it, but apparently nobody
cared enough to take care of business. So it goes.

Now it's onward into 2009 and another year of the "debating trade". This
year, I propose a novel approach that you could try: Get treatment for your
mental illness. If you start in right away, you might be able to garner some
goodwill by the time Xmas rolls around again.

The chief side effect of taking a step toward mental health would probably
be lessened enthusiasm for the "debating trade". But on the plus side, the
Kroobitch might relent and stop freezing you out. We all know she'll never
be Carmela Soprano, but you might at least have an excuse to buy yourself a
new box of "rain coats".
