Happy Birthday from Chicago – “The Owl’s Legacy” is the best piece of television I’ve ever seen (you’ve a secret bootleg network of fans here); worth years of $hoddy US university education. Thank you for everything you’ve made, and I wish you the best of health & happiness.

Bonjour Chris … Bon annive (vieux motard que jamais …) j’ignorai que tu jouais du piano ! In any case, figure-toi que le piano du 20 place Carrière viens d’atterrir chez moi à Paris 19e … longue beautiful histoire …
A bientôt peut-être … Je fais toujours de la photo …
