Ladies and Gentlemen,

My apologies to you all. This morning I awoke to the sound of dripping water. It seems that a water leak has developed in the ceiling of my wife's brand new kitchen.

My wife, The Kilted Knome, has a major business party planned for this weekend so I'm afraid that ripping into the ceiling takes precedence over this forum for one day.

To all those advertisers who responded to my announcement of the new advertising plan and have expressed interest in joining X Marks or changing your advertising level forgive me, I will not be at the shop, where my X Marks email account is, and will not be able to respond to you until Friday.

Apologies to all our members as I must don blue jeans for one day to climb ladders and get covered in drywall dust.

Now, if I can just find where I put that pair of jeans I was saving for times like this.
