Thank you for the recognition. I am certain when the time comes, we will
do our best to reciprocate.
*** No problem. I was glad to see you having a good time and moving around
so well.
You did miss one other highlight. Graham Naisbitt, usually known for his
sartorial splendor, wore a high-vis yellow rugby shirt one day. I'm
surprised he didn't break out in hives.
*** On the contrary, I didn't miss Grahams bright yellow and black shirt.
Seems those colors are the latest buzz around the industry. Matter-of-fact,
Graham received a lot of stinging comments from the Rockwell guys and myself
for wearing that shirt during Wednesday's lunch. I didn't mention that in
my original post because I promised him I'd stop swatting at him. Sorry
Graham, blame Dewey!
