Thanks for entrusting me with such an august position, gentlemen. I'll do my best to maintain the high standards you've set in place. 
Speaking of trash....y'all are going to tidy up those desks soon, right?

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry |

By the way, Anne, I didn't mention this but my Intelligence folks had told me that there were pockets of peasants gathering for a revolt so it was time to roll out another one of their own to give them something to take their mind off their plight.
A speech telling all the Baptists how wonderful it is to be on a Confesional board would be appropriate at this time....

Thereafter, if a Mod serves for 30 years, they are entitled to retirement pay representing 75% of their active-duty pay with cost of living increases calculated against the rate of inflation.

(BTW, a hint, as soon as you get your check, run to the Somolean bank as fast as you can to cash it. I keep losing out because I can't get there before everyone else. For some reason the bank locks its door when they see me in the parking lot--the instruments do make a pleasant wallpaper accent, which helps a little).

You wouldn't really want me to be a pineapple of perfection, would you?
Think how intimidating that would be! How inadequate y'all would feel in comparison!
Really, it's a kindness on my part, making my clay tootsies visible for all to see. ;^p
