Dear Maggie,
Here is your horoscope
for Tuesday, April 29:

You need to really listen when friends or family members offer suggestions today -- some of them seem crazy on the surface, but are actually pretty reasonable once you've thought them through.

and next in the mailbox, in response to my comment here last night:

Just head on down to Arkansas, commit a felony in Benton County, and watch the pounds melt away!
Sean M.

so, uh, If I'm not posting for a while you'll know why.
