Note

I just found some of your old submissions.  They got lost in rerouted inboxes (at least two).  If you want someone to blame... blame... uh.. MIKE!  Dale Mail!

I love goats. But not love love.

MAR 1 (who is gay): "It's just hard for me to feel comfortable with someone."

Oooh. I had been going about this all wrong.
