{Bats} I apologize for my relative silence as I've tried to gather information on the current... situation. While I realize I may be stating the obvious, there is a significant period of time that I seem to be missing. I'm also aware that I have not been the man that I should have been for all of you.
I don't expect you to be pleased with me, but I do hope that you'll join Alfred and me for dinner Sunday night. I have some catching up to do with all of you.
