I saw the news this evening about the ISS finally getting to full power,
and it brought to mind Fitch Williams, a thoroughly nice chap.

If anyone is in touch with him, please send my regards and tell him that
I have raised a glass to him and his this evening.

Colchester and assorted other stuff, every problem looks like a steam engine.

He is. Just busy. If I'd shut off this FN computer like he has done,
maybe I'd be "busy" too.
