I think I like telling him in person. I'm debating whether he's going to sad about this or just be like "yep, he can be a rock and I'll gladly be his barnacle any day". Probably the latter.

I'd apologize about the euphemisms thing, but I'm not sorry. I may even have to make a game out of that. How many double entendres can I put into a post?

I'd prefer using Javert as a punching bag at the moment, but failing that a trip to the gym might indeed be in order. It'll help make sure we're ready if we do have any sudden flight plans, and I would never say no to watching fit people work out.
