Dear ArlJim.....

[ArlJim78]

mon dieu!
Asking too much? Nooooo.

Actually steps 2-4 I was going to do anyway, but the others? With the heightened terrorism security some of these will be tough.

trying to get me banned from Arlington? What would become of my dignity?
If word got around that I petted and kissed and fed a peppermint to and read a letter to Ace, and jumped up and down like I couldn’t contain myself, Steve might put me on the Derbytrail probation list for conduct unbefitting a man!

now why are you not coming out here to take care of some of these yourself?

Not now Dear..... must go and smack myself for not making it out your way!

Going to Hawaii next week. If not for that, I'd be there in a second.

Have a wonderful time. I hope you make many trips to the IRS window and have a fun and memorable day. Can't wait to hear about it!

Here's hoping everyone comes home safe.

It's going to be fun, I'll file a complete report.

Hawaii? very nice. good for you. I hope you get a nice lei.

Oh yes, I could do the pictures for you again as long as its not this weekend as my services are already booked. Also there would be the matter of my fee to discuss. You do recall our arrangement for the Million? Well this would be considerably more considering the extensive travel required.

I'm open to any offers.

Open to other offers? Hmmmm... that sounds awfully good. Must ponder.....

As far as your fee? Oh NO silly! You don't have to pay to photograph him!!! He likes you! Am quite sure he shall waive his usual fee.

Oh right... before i forget? He asked me to pass this on to you.
