[TheForge] A challenge to Harry

[Kathy]

Good morning, Frosty.
I need to take this opportunity to announce my absence for the next few days.
The wife's latest honeydew is a complete renewal of the computer center and
bookshelves, including cleaning, painting, and wiring in a new computer. So, at
least over the weekend, and probably longer, there will be no email from Mikey.

If it ain't forged
it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
