Hi. I know ya'll expect a NA post. Can't do it. Yet. (josh is better qualified to write a good deep post anyway) To tide you over, NA in a paragraph: Spiritually, it was incredible.

(actually, i doubt they'll be shrinking so we'll have to do this every year now.) There you have the not-so-strange tale of how we get icicles in Florida. They melt rather fast.
