message from the beyond (aka Italy)

the ghost of Keegan called this afternoon to tell me that heaven had a blackout. he also complained about the fact that although the whole world hears about it when a few cities in america lose power, I had no idea that the entire nation (of the beyond) in which he lives (so to speak) was electricityless. he also told me that his irish hat continues to form international bonds, not to mention acquiring international HTD's (hat-transmitted diseases, naturally). he also has the plague. (diagnosed as a cold, but in Italy you never can tell.) he asked me to transmit all this news to the world of the living, as well as the information that he'll join the blogger as soon as his celestial power is back on.
I apologize for my non-capitalization - I've been writing an awful lot lately and it seems that coherence comes in a limited supply. how many fugitives do we have left now?
