    Hey Paul,

    Thanks!  I had a blast working with Mike on the JFK Experience.  He's a great guy, and I hooked him up with Jordan Rich who interviewed him on his WBZ radio show.  Great to meet you.  I hope we'll work together in some capacity!

    Hi Paul,  Good luck on Friday!  I do hope your weather is a little cooler than this past Sunday.  It is a miracle no one fainted with all of us wearing heavy layers of woolen clothing.  I was just scheduled for Sunday's shoot.  Enjoy, the production crew is great!
