I'd like to thank Gaby and Cinemania, my wife, children, father, mother, and all my family and friends, pets, obscure former acquiantances, a tadpole I saw on a walk in the woods the other day, varous online stalkers, a strange man who followed me in his car at low speed during my morning run this morning (a bizarre story for another day), and a scammer who telephoned yesterday on behalf of "Microsoft". You never gave up on me. Except the scammer. You did give up on me when I told you (in my most condescending "teacher" voice) that lying was a sin, that I was very disappointed in you, and that you needed to go away and think about what you've done.

(Seriously though, thank you Gaby. Very encouraging.)
