[Well, somebody has a nice tan... well, maybe a bit of a burn too, but hey that's the price to pay for a nice vacation. ]

So I got this hat. Do you think it hides my ears okay, guys? I'm hoping it will last until I can start with winter hats.

[adjusts the hat on his head to demonstrate.]

Also I've been out of town for a bit, so I'm sort of out of the loop... what I miss?

I guess so. Most people I know aren't being hauled away by people in white coats, so...

[He leans back and stretches.]

Okay man, sorry again about the disappearing thing.

Just don't do it again. If it does happen, there will probably be a search party.
