Thanks for the feedback and the book sounds like it would be worth picking up. Amazon must do good business on this stuff...they should have some kind of LBS discount club card (unfortunately, I am indeed a club carrying member at this time--dangit!!).
The transit tickets thing is too bad. Isn't it weird how there are unique markers about things like that w/WAS? Extending a lease, monthy transit pass, booking time away by self, etc. So many indirect statements.
Wow, you guys really have a lot of shared history together. I'm trying to imagine that.
