[Rhodes22-list] Captain of the Metaphor - Happy New Year

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Mary Lou,
If another Chesapeake happening comes up next summer, I'll try to come up and join.  At very least I have to come up to collect my bet with Lee on A-N.  Ron Singerman wanted a slice of the bet also, but now I learn that he meant a slice of pie.  He is easily the baddest of the bad.
Art
