An Open Letter to Fab From Cal and Leslie K.

Fab,

You know we love you, and as our semesters are both closing up next week, we'd like to offer to take the page over for the summer.

Of course RYS always had the famous summer hiatus, and from our shared view, you need a hiatus of your own. You work tirelessly and far too hard on the page. The strain is showing in your recent comments and emails, and your leadership is far too important to let that strain weigh you down year round. (It's supposed to be fun for everyone, Fab, not just the readers!)

May 1st to August 31st? Okay? Just ease off for the summer, and come back in September recharged. We promise we won't get into any hookah & absinthe orgies, nor will we burn down the shed in Oxford that houses the vast CM "Film Studies" library of porn and MMA.

Your pals,

Cal & Leslie K.

    If I were Fab,
    I'd run and not look back,
    down a highway, country road,
    or even down a railway track.

    No hookah and absinth orgies?


    YOU ARE KILLING THE PAGE. THAT'S IT, WE'RE DONE.

      I assume that we can still have either type of orgy, just not both at the same time.

    I'm in, Cal and LK. Which of course also mean, I'm out...

    Bless you both.

    I'm sure Cash could be persuaded to help out in a pinch...or perhaps with a baggie or two!

    Fab goes out of his way to take care of everyone. I have seen it time and time again. He has even sent me personal e-mails to make sure everything is OK. Fab, I am sure you are an outstanding professor. You care about everyone in your classroom and you make sure that everyone feels comfortable! Have a great summer off and enjoy!

    Thanks to Cal and Leslie K for being willing to do this.

    And thanks as always to Fab for being willing to put up with all the BS. I think I'd last about day, if that.

    Now where's the absinthe hiding? I've never tasted the stuff, and I'm curious.
