Roman -

i have to agree with your wife on this one (& being much more like you on this point, it pains me to do so), but the grey jacket was a good finishing touch. you look very Spiffy.

i see these pictures, & it just hits home in a whole different way - but i can't imagine ever being in the position you were last night. i thought about you a number of times last night - i even considered giving you a call. but i decided against it cuz i didn't want to steal any of your thunder. i really hope you are wildly successful there & really hope that it catapults you further along a trail i know you would like to travel.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PICS - it's funny how they somehow bring it all home in a totally different way than knowing about it. but i guess the newspapers & tv figured that out a lONG time ago, eh?
