Right back at you. It is nice to have these discussions and to learn from others and to take back and discuss at the kitchen table. Stay safe up there in NY and take care.

At 2:38pm on April 13, 2009, Jason Hoevelmann said…: Hey, Paul, do you guys still use written log books or is it all computerized? Referring to daily logging of activities and alarms? We are possibly going to all computerized, not a popular decision so I am just curious.

Your message about the Rock training some how got cut off. It must have been operator error on my part. I remember you. That was a good time. I hope all is good with you and yours.

You mean you didn't recognize the gray silhouette of me? I think it looks just like me! I enjoyed meeting you, too. Let me know what I can help you out with regarding your workouts. I'd be glad to do what I can. Maybe you and Roy-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y can work out together!

After leaving Long Island 20 year ago, It sure is good hearing from some brothers from the North East, stay safe and I hope that fine neighborhood of Harlem is as beautiful as I remember...
