a belated but sincere thanx

tho i am still looking forward to seeing your radio interview transcript at least

must i say pretty please o megashameless one

& since i really am considering how best to join up with you for the gcebe movie premiere at point roberts beach i am wondering in earnest if there isnt a ferry or water taxi from blaine to point roberts that would obviate any necessity to risk my stash & wad & freedom

& sahibi would that be the east or the west beach

& when is your estimated er d day for that beach
