in my letter, i'm using shall over will as to my representation.
fowler would be pleased.
apparently, shall represents a certain certainty that will fails.
will seems to be more of a wishing thing.
all of which are tecnicalities that i don't suppose anyone will (or shall) notice. yet...
one can never be too precise.

morning, sunshine
Well, hello there.
whooh. did a number last night--not a jay, well, not dope anyway--.
it's been a good run. not that i'm retiring. too early for that, and i've got work to do.
still and all, it's been fun, these last few days with you.
and, well, sometimes it's just plain and.
that said, let's gear up. fall's a cummin, as the old poet said.
must have, haven't they said everything?
and i know, that was the dread comma splice. never thought i'd admit it. say lovey.
so, just you and me kid. let's make it a good one.
