Hey John,
How are things? I remember Monkey Love and how you met your new love! How's the writing going? Would you like to be interviewed?
Hey Shelagh ...Long time no communications - love the interviews.
Not sure how much you know (age and forgetfulness go hand and hand), but I fell in love with a Myspace friend and moved to Tennessee. Life is good and I am a survivor.
