Party Pooper.   :^)

Well, we should have a triumphant procession for Bob, once he brings
Grendel home with flying colors, despite all the trials and tribulations
he's gone through. Yeah, I know, he went into it with eyes open, and
probably should have cut and run half a dozen times.

But what guts, perseverence, skill, and patience this man has
shown. After the clothes and tools have dried off, the bills have
been paid, and the pneumonia has been cured...

What a grand adventure this has been.
