Hello, Sidda.

What's with this "Terri" business?

Lemme think. Did you say the last time you posted that you no longer 
write for the movie industry ? If I remember correctly, you indicated 
that some of those people can be difficult to deal with.

Have you climbed over your neighbor's fence lately? Yeah, I remember 
a little about that caper. Wasn't it to retrieve your dog?

Hey, I've missed you even though I don't think you knew I exist. At 
least you never answered any of my personal messages to you. Maybe 
beautiful young women just ain't interested in old country hicks like 
me. Okay, I'm kidding around a little.

I'm happy to see you back. You write good. :-)
