Let me first just say THANK YOU to my very kind parents for
buying me this nice, comfortable bed.

And ANOTHER BIG thanks to my dear Aunt Susie, who
went beyond the call of duty and made sure the new bed was shipped
to my apartment door in Jersey , who
spent a week planning and measuring out materials to transform my bed into a couch,
who also enclosed some beer money.

They all tried to make my life better away from home.

I am very fortunate.
