Young man? I can't recall but I must owe you some money. Doing ok, Davon, helping my mom handle a newly diagnosed, quite serious illness at the time, but doin' my best as is she, just putting one foot in front of the other.

Always good to hear your voice Davon. As well as you can ever get to know someone on an anonymous forum, you do strike me as good one. Hoping you are doing well. How's that wedding shaping up, kid?
