    And I immediately thought of you, too, upon reading SpunkySpeedySenior's question.

    Comma needed after yesterday.

    Grammar police rushed to the scene and secured the perimeter. Requests for further comment were denied pending full assessment of damage, including an inventory of missing synonyms.

    I copied and pasted without realizing a comma was MIA.  Will try to do better in the future. :)
