A Little Higher...A Little Lower...Just A Tiny Bit Higher....Lower...

Not that it's especially relevant to the matter at hand, but Adam Katz has been getting a massage for about eight hours now. If someone so much as patted me on the head I think I'd fall asleep, so one has to admire Katz's stamina.
