Firebroiled: There must be some way out of this.
I’ll change the air,

||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood announces: "8:02 PM and late as usual, it's Dr. Headphones, just back from Coopersville."
Dr. Headphones: dear friends, i thought i'd drop in and say "hello" before heading upstairs to bed. one of these thursdays i'll plan to stay up late!
Dr. Headphones: TTFN (ta ta for now)
