Well I tried to get over to see you on Hunington Ave this past December but always managed to miss ya. Mark Gregory told me you are a friend of his and while I was visiting I figured I stop by. I hear you're doing great work there. Walshy over R2 said you're doing good things there and next time I go home to visit I will definately look you up and get a few pints with ya. Perhaps I will drag Mark up there and we can have a great ol' time. Take care and good to see you on here.
Again thanks.
