I am glad that you are coming up on a vacation! I am looking forward to our first vacation in a very long time, sometime this summer.

That makes perfect sense.

Also, when the 'strong you' emerges, it signals that he has to change. He finds change very threatening.

Thanks for keeping us posted, FF.

All the best,

-An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
