Dave,

Hey what's going on?

We took the job in Denver. I am having a good time working my ass off. We just pitched and sold an idea to a Surf/Skateboard/Snowboard theme restaurant chain out here in the West. I am also working on Cannon Canada (the Elph line, the Rebel, and a couple of printers). And I am on EAS, which is a supplement company. I am the lead art director on all those, so my life is just about over. But I do not mind staying in the office until 4 am, and we have a great creative director who is behind us and is all about selling cool ideas.

I do not think I had chance to really thank you for all the advice and stuff you did for me. I appreciate it. My writer Alex says thanks too, and hopes you are doing well.

Have a beer on me, and next we meet I owe you dinner and massive amounts of alcohol. I would send you flowers, but I do not want to give you the wrong idea.

Have a good one,

Pat
