Well, whata weekend I had. Fantastic. Then I decided to try to smooth out what has been a difficult ( what I thought ) friendship.
This was the reply I received:

This guy might think of himself as a celebrity- but he's a minor radio station host, and my one invasion of his privacy was a phone call sunday afternoon to see what was happening.
