Carol responds:
Happy belated birthday, SSS! Which potion are you choosing? I choose
the wealth potion as I don't care to relive my youth, especially under
today's conditions. Semi-old age has its advantages. 'Course, it would
be nice to have a better memory and better eyesight, but, nah. I've
had youth once and never had wealth, so that's my choice.

Carol, who somehow missed the birthday wishes yesterday--*and* missed
yesterday's "Monk" finale to boot! (at least it's on again tonight, so
please, no spoilers from anyone who's seen it!)
