While hanging outside with Lilly recently, I took the opportunity to whisper in her ear that *if* she happened to have a miraculous recovery up her sleeve, that NOW would be the time to play that card. I think Lilly is both smart enough and ornery enough to play a little trick like that. Don’t you?
