Sounds good to me. I'll see what I can come up with.

For what it's worth, I don't think he's a lost cause, either. Yes, right now I'd like to huck him down the staircase and do nasty things to him 'til even dental records wouldn't be able to identify the body, but.. he's been a good friend, too. As easy as it is to focus on the negative, I'm trying to remember that he's been a good friend to me (even if it was likely in part to my own influence), and I promised him I'd help him however I could.

Besides, he can't teach me to re-enact the Cliffs of Insanity swordfighting sequence if he's in as many pieces as I'd like right now. So. A vacation.
