Naw, I've never been to any of Suzanne's concerts, and I must also
admit to being somewhat disappointed with _Solitude Standing_.  It's
just sort of, well, lukawarm (hee hee).  I'd try to rationalize here
and now, but I'm too exhausted to.

Would somebody puh-leeze explain to me what the hell is going on here?
Hof being pissed is one thing (particularly since he's been remarkably
tolerant and civil for the past few months) but the sound of this "your
kind" business makes me particularly uneasy.  Nor have I seen any fingers
being pointed since the Dickhead incident last winter; how are we to agree
or disagree with "what is going on"?

puzzled, hungry, and pooped,
