: Hi Dana! *waving hand cheerfully* Can I walk you to the mailbox?
: hehe. Better yet, can you walk ME to MY mailbox? Kinda lift me up to peer inside? It's difficult for gnomes to get their snail mail when the USPS mandates the height for the box! *can't you get a waiver on that for gnomes, Rich?* Thank god for email! All we have to do is climb up on the chair, pull the keyboard drawer out *grunt* and step on the appropriate keys.

I can't think of a more perfect escort, BillyG. I could just stick you in my pocket. Shall we?
