I can't respond in private, as I read archives and
your emails are not visible...
I consider John one of my best pals, and can tell
you that I rarely communicate with him unless it is in person---he is extremely
busy with his law practice and family life, not to mention the ponies. His
mailbox kicks back when it is full, which is most of the time. We
occasionally have marathon phone conversations, but I know he is very busy right
now at work.
I suggest you come to the
convention in San Antonio and meet him in person. I will buy you
a drink and tell you stories of the 350 miles I have ridden Skjoldur and how he
dumped twice before lunch at Grand Canyon!!!
