I thought of you today with love,, Richard. I am so glad that Aires did not bite your finger off in my home. That was frightening in 2007. Almost as frightening as renting the jet to return him. That flight felt like I was in a sardine can. Atleast I had two pilots. Wow! xoxo - lol
Remember that you love Hotels with pools and so do I. xoxo
