Art -

I did get the chance to watch and listen to you a couple of times at Winfield, but do regret that I never got (or made) a chance to shake hands and trade lies.

Of course, I'm probably a lot better at the tradin' lies than I was when I saw you last, since I've cultivated my curmudgeonlies for a few years, and sobered up (occasionally) some since then. I haven't noticed that you've lost the touch though, while I've still been tryin' to learn how.
