Hey Mark,

I wanted to let you know that the "Old Orchard" prints came yesterday.

As with all of your work that I have seen.... they are AWESOME!

Thanks you so much, I can't wait to frame, and hang in my office. At this rate I am going to have to dedicate a whole wall to your work.

Your the best buddy.... thank you very much.

Sorry about your Panthers. The Gmen didn't fair any better. There is always next year!

Keep in mind that if you can make it up this way around the beginning of May, I would love to take you to Old Orchard Light to catch some nice size Bass (Rockfish as you guys call them down south) We have plenty of room for you and whoever you would like to bring with you to stay with us, and we are only 30 Min from Downtown NY, as I remember you saying that you have never been to Manhattan.....

Hope to see you in May, or whenever you up in my neck of the woods (ok asphalt.....)

Ted

Ted, glad you like the prints, and I call them stripers where I come from. A true rockfish to me are the uglay ass orange ones in Alaska (good to eat though). With me anyways a bass means a largemouth or smallmouth the kind I catch on the lake I live on.
As far as New York there are only 2 places I care to visit there. The site of 911 where I lost alot of friends I knew from NYPD and Mets stadium. Oh ya and a good pizza joint. The rest of the time we can fish for bass, rockfish, stripers, white marlin, sharks I don't care as long as it swims.

Gotcha covered on the fishing and Pizza..... but going to Flushing?

OK, for you I will do it.... Just don't tell anybody. (only kidding ) Last time I was at Shea was for a rolling stones concert in mid 80's (steel wheels I think) and before that was when the Yankees were playing at Shea while they were re-modeling Yankee stadium in the 70's.

I went past the new stadium a few weeks ago and it looks like it is going to be a really nice venue.
