So I see you're retiring the recreational leagues you have here, EC. I hope you don't retire the IPA just yet, for I would really like to see it get to 100 years of operation, if possible, somehow. However, that may not be possible, of course, here. You've got about 20 years to go, and you said you expected it might take another four to five years in real time for it to get there sometime later on, if I remember correctly enough here. Do you still think that might just be the case here, if the Lord ultimately gives you enough time on this Earth and enough things work out well enough to somehow make that possible, before OOTP puts out their last edition sometime later on, whenever that might be?

I do enjoy reading your reports about the IPA, for instance. And I hope they will continue for as long as possible, Lord willing, for sure, you know. I know that there's more to life than baseball, of course, but I still enjoy reading about it, and trying a lot of things out from time to time, although it is often still hard for me to stay rather focused on whatever I may be working on at a particular time in my life.

I somehow think you'll keep creating new dynasties from time to time, if people continue to put out great work on these forums, because in many ways, you're a lot like me, always creating and all, in certain ways. It is in our nature as human beings to create many times, because our Lord made us that way in this world of ours, you know. I'm sure there will be a lot more work put on these forums later that you may want to use at times, but we'll just have to see what happens. In any case, whether you do so or not, that remains to be seen here, quite obviously.

You have been, are, and always shall be, my friend, EC, just as Spock says to Kirk in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, although he doesn't say are in that line of the film in question. That will never change, I'm sure, Lord willing and all, in the future. We may have disagreements from time to time here, of course, but we are brothers in Christ, and we are always going to be, as far as I'm concerned here, for sure. No matter how much time either or both of us has left either on this message board, in this nation, or in this world of ours, in any case. CD out.
