Keep matt katz real busy in both his pull fulltime job and that spare time job again writing the next chapter of the christie story that may need another book or two to tell real soon. Hes been matured by early political losses and hes got some patience. I think hes going to take his time and, you know, keep pursuing that white house dream. Good morning guys.
