Ma Yappy and I remain the best and closest of friends, and she will remain in our inner circle here as soon as she gets herself set up out west. As some of you have found out personally, she's a fine lady it's been our privilege to know, and I hope she will continue her association with us for many years to come.
I, on the other hand, remain the same asshole I've been since my youth, so you're stuck with me...
PS: Karmen's daughter is a darling, and my only regret is that I couldn't afford to reunite them more than once in the last 13 months.
