more weeks to finish, but I am thoroughly enjoying the journey.

Hope you enjoy Naked as much as I. There was one point where I think I nearly died from inhaling beer while reading a certain bit about a taste-testing. Let me know if you remember that part.

Happy reading and thanks, hermetic, for hosting the weekly thread.
