I suggest a contest to determine what that subject line is all about.

That's an easy one. I took the phrase at face value. It's an e-mail from our
writer-in-residence back from a phase of creative rejuvenation (and
refrigeration consultation). Its subject line announces just that: a lot of
high-power love-sick drip from a mechanic <grin>. I thought it was prefatory
to a chapter of Mike's latest seepage, sump-pumped up from Convalescenza. A
sort of Magic Mountain in reverse. You see the signs for the specialty all
over the place in Germany--Lymphdrainage--and I can only imagine that it
involves a nurse's muscular manipulation of infammatory nodes till said
*drainage* (pronounced as would Dépardieu) purges same.
