Five minus two equals

Hello, my little cauliflowers. I know that while I've been holed up sitting my own personal shiva, I've missed a great deal, and I'm sorry for it -- sorry for most of it, anyway, though I have to admit that a glance back through my friendslist indicates that perhaps I shouldn't be so sorry about missing some things -- and I'll be back with you soon, I think, answering comments and emails and, like, participating and stuff, but I did just have one more thing to fling out into the ether.
