Chad R Homan said… - Dear Ray,
I've really wanted to send correspondence much earlier. I can't believe it's time for another mixer again! Last one, you were asking about our projects...
Yes, I'm still too busy with mine -- I've probably two weeks of PR work left on current film and art productions... Would you know how that goes? - LOL! See my blog -- if I don't have over a gross of reports I'm still behind! - LOL!
Anyway, I hope to see you again at the next mixer and discuss interests with you...
Be Well - Stay Happy,
Chad
