[Consern's ASSUAGED]
I was about to post a note of concern that we had not heard the story of July 4th on MP's boat because Coroporete's Weekend Open Thread isn't taking comment's as normal and a bunch appear to have been lost. What if Ellen posted seven paragraphs never to be deciphered by her followers? But not to worry--see below--she evidently has found us again and reports no personal tech complaints, suggesting that somehow she comprehended the situation and is saveing the rundown to sweeten our vacation-letdown morning tomorrow.
