Greetings and Salutations! You will NOT believe what just happened! I myself can scarcely believe it, indeed, it is with the pall of bewilderment still hung 'round my skull that I write this. I suppose I shall begin, if not at the very beginning, then somewhere tolerably close to it for the sake of an expeditious anecdote. As you no doubt know by this juncture, I have begun what has been referred to as the "fade." That being said, there are several responsibilities that I am in the process of shedding like an old snake skin: and so my maxim has been "less, not more." However, the ghastly spirit of old Pasteur(ized) Russell must be watching me, for, when I checked the messages on my phone, what do you suppose the very first one was about? I would never have guessed it in a million years, (or at least a thousand-year reign {of terror}) it was one of the Smothers Brothers, asking if I wanted to be... in the drama! Now, you wouldn't be very far off the mark if you called me a drama queen, in fact, even today, I was reading a scholarly treatise on "Hamlet;" (one of the central books of my secular scripture, and, you might say, a "Poem Unlimited") however, when it comes to acting in the Watchtower-of-Babel's pathetic, proselytizing, preachy propaganda plays, I draw the line. I mean, really, which part did they have in mind for me; the queer apostate? I don't think so. Fortunately, I managed to come up with, what I thought was, a pretty good excuse: that I would be in... Nebraska. (go Huskers!) Now, the phone call having been made, I am officially off the hook! Well, my stars! I had no idea this would come up, indeed, you could have knocked me over with a feather! I guess the "He-Man Woman-Haters Club" won't let me go gentle into that good night. Oh well, I still have a bit of fight left in me, and I will stand and deliver when I must, coming on in a blue fury of pugilistic punishment! HAHAHA! (sorry about that, I'm listening to Rufus Wainwright right now, and that always tends to energize me) Anyway, cheers!
Oh my Gawd! I might be a drama queen but...

LOL! What a wonderful way to tell the tale!
Glad you're not having to create any more "drama" for yourself during your fade!

Hon, your fade is clearly very successful if they want you in The Drama. It's the ULTIMATE privilege.

Well I suppose they are trying to entice you out of retirement (fade).
By the way just in case I did not welcome you yet, I will do that now.

Welcome, and enjoy the drama.
