[kj] OT: Chrome recommendation

[Blazingstar418]

Heh, 

 He's recently married (his Best Man typing this out)
and is performing with both his wife and I in (what
I'm sure will be a controversial idea on this list)
"Spellbound" our Siouxsie and the Banshees tribute
band.

I'll let him know both that you asked after him and
that you demanded his return to the Gathering Marc.
