I can understand, but, wow, Pete, I (and I’m sure many others) would hate to lose one of the web’s very best news reporters/commenters.
Your fans clamor for you to continue!! And you’re going to have the thoughts, anyway – you wouldn’t want to keep them all to yourself – you might explode!

My grandparents used to love Gunsmoke, so I did, too. But I had forgotten all about it, to tell you the truth. I might have to try to find some DVDs of the old episodes and finally actually turn on one of the TVs in this house.

I didn’t even pick up on it as an adult! I thought she was just a saloon keeper.
