Rich, I'm so pleased for you - I'd like to share a little of my youth with you from my singing days under my stage name, Cliff Richard

And now you have to tell us all about your experience as a new ESR! 
Congratulations again, and my very best wishes. Sleep late, read, enjoy the time, peace, and quiet.

I thought that was you, until I realized the front of his pants weren't wet...

Congrats, Rich. Now, I'm going to upload a picture of a bump on my knee, and if you could just tell me...

Exactly - and Rich diagnosed it correctly
(it is a displaced bump of knowledge and he sent me a certificate to prove to DW that it is not up my a$$ like she claims).

Thank you one and all. DW is preparing my favorite dinner and a nice bottle of wine.
Now to sit back and digest all this (the ESR, not the dinner). Mixed emotions notwithstanding, I'm feeling pretty damn good right about now.

Al, that's not your knee. And those bumps are supposed to be there.
