Will,

Don't worry, it's just a joke... a little fun amidst all my preparations
for fall courses in Novels and Theory and something the University calls
"Acquisition of Knowledge" (a soft-core history of epistemology course for
Honors kids).

Kenny is the little parka-wearing kid whose voice is all but unintelligible
on the animated tv show *South Park*.  He dies in some gruesome way in
every episode, but comes back normal as always in the next.  At his death,
during each half-hour show, one of his friends inevitably shouts "They
killed Kenny!  You Bastards!"

Please pardon the small bit of pop-lunacy.

Enjoy the days and nights,

--John
