Jim,

Being a total moran, I have no intellectual property to share. Nonetheless,
I'd like your permission to repeat the phrase, "pathetic paraphrasing
plagiarizer," since I think it's one I could put to good use. I'll of course
credit you.

Listening to music of a central African pigmy group. It doesn't get better.
Drinking a young green Pu'erh of old tree leaf, likewise lovely.
