I did, and Im very grateful for the access. Well, I got busy with your Mr. Sig Larkin. Joan told me, of course. This is terrible. Now youre going to drive the thing through a plate-glass window somewhere, and Im going to have to break cover and visit you in the hospital, and were going to become a de facto couple, and you’ll be dogged by the media everywhere you go, andI’ll have to explain why you’re driving a motorcycle at your very advanced age.
