AND MAY I TAKE THIS LAST MOMENT TO CONFESS MY OBSESSION (THOUGH NOT DANGEROUS SINCE I'VE HAD IT FOR TWENTY YEARS) TO VINCENT D'ONOFRIO. IT DOES NOT STOP ME FROM ADMIRING THE ACTING ABILITIES AND FINE ATTRIBUTES OF OTHER ACTORS. BUT I AM STEADFASTLY DEVOTED TO VDO.


HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL OF YOU, HOWEVER YOU MAY CELEBRATE. Personally I am currently hiding out in the bedroom of my IN-LAWS HOUSE IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. THAT WON'T LAST MUCH LONGER. I CAN HEAR THE NATIVES GETTING RESTLESS THRU THE DOOR. PRAY FOR ME.
