Dear Mr. Socko,

I was too shy to ask Wally for a sig. Would you mind creating one for me?

Sorry Democritus, I didn’t mean to take yours. I’m done with it, so you can have it used, and dumped-on by Wally, if you have no pride. ☹ I really mucked it up for you, didn’t I. I’m on the list for one from Wally- you can have first crack at that one, if it will make you feel better.

## tshirts, you can have the one he did for me if you want…I wasn’t asking for one. I do appreciate the time and effort though! 🙂

Thanks for the smile this morning.
