[MD] spiders and shields

[John Carl]

That is verry ESPish of you  Ron, to mention me all gussied up.  Lu just
gave me a haircut and I'm wearing a tie, about to go out the door on a job
interview doing in-home  care of old people.  Good winter work, getting paid
for getting to sit and read and cook and sleep, stuff I do anyway.
Wish me luck.

But the esp-ish thing was yesterday when she saw me all clean and trying on
good clothes and she got that look in her eye.  You know the one.  Yeah.
