I've been missing Ned as of late, and much like Mr. Missing, the rumors of his demise (including at the hands of whatever a schoie is) have been greatly exaggerated.
Now I realize not everyone shares the affinity of some for Ned - but I find him incredibly more interesting than Cuban Chevys . . . and at least as interesting as BP's new pool possibility . . .

Rhonda - I think Ned was gone approximately the same amount of time that you were . . . care to comment?
