Just tell me to piss off if you don't have the time. ;)

And the third ... well, you won't get that today, but you will get it. You need MORE VORKOSIGAN BOOKS, and I'm gonna send you some! No arguments, I already have your address, so you're stuck! I was planning to ship you "Young Miles" and "Miles, Mystery and Mayhem", which should contain the next stuff you haven't read yet. Is that correct?

Happy B-day, Kim! Enjoy that king crab! 8^9
