Hey Kenn, good to "see" you too. Glad to hear you're well, feel free to hit me up with Dempsey questions anytime. Hear from Phil Sullivan lately? It would be nice to see him reunite with the PC crew again. Speaking of Fiona Apple, does anyone have news from her career? The last time I saw her was on one of those David Blaine specials, she was in NYC watching him perch on top of a tower for about 16 weeks or so.
