Found Dreaming

I like how banks pick what is spam and what looks legit. Usually get it wrong. It would be nice if they to us they weren't paying it so we could decide.

Good to hear Richard. Must have been scary to do yours after your wife had trouble. How is everything going otherwise. Still writing your book, and how's your wife doing? Great to hear from you.
