I'm deeply confused, Marc.  My imaginary friend is named Harvey.  Or are
you speaking to one of your fellow apostles?

Cheers.

Simon:  doleo ut Chando faceto homine deficeat conemplari verium modum.

Mi non dicande aut perscibande Latina Lingua in ter decem anni,
obsecarem
ut ignarus sit errorum mihi in modo et elocutione.

Professor Daniel Ridings, doctissime se clamante in Linguam Latinam,
discrepeat ut mea Latina rectus est.  Pax vobiscum, Frater Daniel.

Ave, amice Animal!
