Beck, I would gladly switch places with you, if only Cecil would leave me alone! Please take my advice and don’t poke the bear, if there’s one thing you don’t want to be it’s the target of Cecil Adams’ unhealthy fixation. It has the potential to get very ugly very fast. Be smart, just drop it; find someone or something else to moon over, you seem like a nice person but take it from me, you are edging toward a trap door - one I wish I’d noticed before it was too late. Save yourself! ---

I don’t know what this says about me, but my first thought when I saw the big news wasn’t, “Hooray! The Master returneth!” though I’m certainly glad about that. No, it was, “Oh, Beck will be SO happy!” Now we just have to lure him to Arkansas. ---

Lemme tell you, that ghost is driving me crazy. Noisy is an understatement. And he apparently appreciates sage. So I tried sandalwood. We’ll see how that goes. I am enjoying a hippie vibe in my room, at the moment.🙃 ---

I was reading a thread. @Cecil_Adams started it. It was a happy birthday greeting to a poster named @Jezebel . Seems like I missed my birthday greeting from the perfect master.
