Howya doon? Howse the wife, kids? I'll bet that little one is a real caution by now, huh? Fine family you have there, you're lucky! As are they to have you, by golly!

Glad to hear things are goin' well. Getting a grip on that ol' golf game yet? Heh, heh, little play on words there. Grip, golf - get it? Not that you didn't always have a great game. You did.

Howse the house? Get that new roof? I think you are better off with the LifeTime guarantee, I agree. Good selling point if you guys ever wanted to move. Not that you would. It's a great house. I agree that a muted earth tone would be best for the paint, too. Would be dignified. One thing you've always had is good taste. I'd go so far as to say "class". A classy guy.

Well, I gotta go. Delighted things are great for you. You're a fortunate guy, but then fortune comes to those who work hard and have determination, doesn't it??!! You've sure earned it. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Love to chat longer, but you know how it is, damned phones and even more damnable duty. Sometimes I have to do what I have to instead of what I want. Like now. Wish I had more time with you. But then everyone does, don't they.

Be talking back atcha later. Cheers. Good health. Say "Hi!" to the family there, and keep up the good work.

Sincerely and the very best wishes, give the little lady a peck on the cheek for me,

Bowser
