Subject: you are the best
I am now in Vail. Someone bought
a copy of this week's Globe for Christmas as a to ce. open up
and there is a photo of you and a story about our dinner with Clinton.
If you haven't seen it, it is a stitch. It has Bill sitting between you
and Saffron and hitting on both of you.
So, we celebrate another Christmas. My best present was that I got
everyone to sign the family agreement. Done. My next best present was
that I got a major injection of equity ($100mm) into Reliant from a
public company at a valuation of twice what you paid. Done. My next
best present was that Superior Bank is settled. Done. All of that
happened in the past 3 weeks.
Now for you. If you get freaked out in the days ahead, I am going
to be very pissed at you. You are way, way ahead of the game and,
thankfully for you, you will continue to be so for many, many
Christmases to come because your 'station' is due to your brains
(sometimes your wit) and personality (albeit somewhat 'different').
Presumably all of those improve with age so I shudder to think of your
future. Those are my views and tidings for this Christmas.
As to your birthday, I shall lift a glass in your honor tomorrow and
utter only the truth: "Happy Birthday and may we share many more".
