On #1: Aw, yay. Glad to hear it. I think I knew all those facts individually (well, except the flu one), but it's much easier to read and put it all together here than it is on Twitter. The paragraph structure is different.

#4: Me too. (The interest, I mean.) I'm a legitimate religious omnivore since I'm Unitarian Universalist, but I never do seem to do Catholic saints.

#5: Oh, thank God. If it *didn't* work, that would just be UNFAIR.

Anyway. I might as well do one more iteration of this, so if you have the time and inclination, give me some questions?
