Voicemail from Jeff McNeil, in which the word "bacchanal" was featured. "I hope I used that correctly," he said. "If not, you and Dr. 'M.' can mock me." But he did. He did use it correctly! The feud is over, Jeff! Here's a whimsical aside. Dr. "M." thought that Jeff was a character, an alter-ego that I had created for the "blog." Jeff, meanwhile, suspected that Dr. "M." was a figment of my imagination. But they are both real! Jeff, in fact, is my oldest friend. I've known him since I was 13. I refuse to let the "blog" tear us apart! I'll delete the whole thing if I have to!
