First, Mel is a class act. Not news, of course, but he is ending Gene the right way, on his terms, with notice, and with a bang. Second, I'm glad Gene had this run with IT, not only because the dolls are (IMHO) better, but because IT will help Mel give Gene a proper sendoff. With AD, she might have just trailed off into the doll equivalent of reality-show semi-obscurity... Third, following Marcia below: WAAAAAAAAAA! Now get ready for a fantastic, 8-month farewell...it'll be fun...and sad...but fun... - Tom in CA
