real detail lacking, I momentarily felt the need for more of it in my life.

All too true. And you developed your points quite well. With the exception of
the last item, I left plenty of room for additional meaning. Also in a very

(3) "to wit" said aloud quickly almost sounds like "twit", which is why I
