Cool UT.

I'd love to come up and see you guys play one of these days.

As far as unemployment goes, I got tossed out on my ass this spring after ten years. No hard feelings - they just ran out of work and I cost too much to make copies.

My advice -enjoy your time off. A lot can happen in five months. This could be a great summer if you let it. And you don't need money to have fun. Make music - work the garden, spend time with your lovely wife.

When you do rejoin the ranks of the working stiffs, you'll miss the time you had. I know I do. Don't be in such a hurry to get back to work. 5 months is long time. Make a deal that you won't worry about it for two more months.

By "all kinds of cool people" he means me, by the way.
