I'm glad to hear you and your family are doing well and have not been affected by this! I'm sorry, for the late reply but I'm moving tomorrow and am packing and getting everything ready. Stay inside as much as you can I don't want to find out anything bad happened to you or your loved ones. I know we have never met in person but I love chatting with you and in general don't want anything to happen to you or anyone you know or anyone for that matter. I had no idea you had polio you just keep becoming a bigger inspiration for me! You're not a senior citizen you're only as old as you feel. What kinda car do you drive? Either way it sounds fun.

It's not as if I'm in a wheelchair; I just have reduced lung capacity and corkscrew legs: if I point my feet parallel and then try to bend at the knees (like I'm skiing), my kneecaps dive in towards each other and strike. When my nieces and nephews got old enough, I'd show them each this phenomenon and their reaction (all 6) was exactly the same: Neat! Didn't keep me out of the Army, though.

I have a 2005 Maserati Quattroporte which has 51,000 miles on it. My friend Bill R., who plays lead trombone on virtually every major movie soundtrack (especially those scored by John Williams), has the big Tesla and we onece did 105 on the Ventura Freeway on the way up to Santa Barbara. With our wives screaming in the back.

See if you can get a documentary called The Fruithunters from Amazon. In part it tells the story of our Hollywood Orchard enterprise. That might give you a little insight into our corner of the world and be fun to watch while you're shut in. It was funded with a grant from the Canadian Film Board.

💯 you're only as old as you feel and you were in the army? More and more inspirational every time I talk to you! Sorry, right now I'm giving quick replies which I don't like to do as I try to give everyone the respect they deserve I'm just packing and messaging like 15 different people about me moving tomorrow. I plan on going through all my old messages over the next couple of days as I'm unpacking but can take more time but I wanted to reach out now because I've been off of here for so long. I will definitely look into that documentary as soon as I get a chance. How did you get a a grant from the Canadian Film Board? If I don't get back to you right away I apologize I'm just getting everything ready I'm not ignoring you.

Good to hear from you, your kids good to right?

Oh, I'm not the film-maker. The documentarian was a nice young Chinese fellow. You'll learn a lot about fruit if you see this . . . like the genetic threat to the world's supply of bananas . . . and the fruit that is so foul-smelling that Southeast Asian countries have laws against carrying it on public transportation . . . and the ice-cream fruit . . .

Yeah, we're all good here. Actually, my kids are sleeping over tonight because my ex works tomorrow she's a PSW. I feel bad foe them because I can't take them to a park and my buddies that live 2 blocks over who have kids around the same age for a playdate. It's been really hard on them especially not understanding what's going on with the world right now and everything in my place is in boxes and bins so there's not really any room for them to run around and play. It's good to talk to you and be back I'm glad it finally loaded on my phone so I could converse with all of you fine people on here especially during these trying times. Stay safe my friend!

I'll check it out in a few days when I get internet setup where I am and start my Amazon account. It sounds very interesting.
