aw, i got an e-mail from fred telling me that my work on today's lof strip was great. i love getting random e-mails from people saying such. ok, you may think that a message from fred isn't a big RANDOM deal but i just recently learned that he actually read LoF regularly which he didn't used to do so i was quite surprised to even get an e-mail.
