Author's Note: Yes I know I've been using a lot of Señoraisms lately; you'll have to forgive me. They're just sooooo much fun (and there's the added bonus of messing with Sra. Riggs) and besides it's summer so there's not much other IA-related stuff on my mind at the moment...Sheesh, don't get so fired up, it's probably just another of my Jedi blogger mind tricks:)
