Lucky you.  That's one of my favourite places on earth to live.  (I
spent a summer living in Trinity Church Square, Southwark, London SE1,
about 1/2 mile south of the Thames.)

Yes, Deirdre and I ended up getting rid of maybe half of all the
household's books.  We probably would have disposed of more, the last
couple of weeks, but Cheryl stepped in and boxed them all up.  I owe
both of them a debt of gratitude for the preparation work -- and I know
that selling massive quantities of gear while also holding down a
full-time developer job isn't easy.

Thank you, sir.  And you.
