Russell, you are a gentleman, a scholar, a fine graphics artist, one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met, and one of the best human beings I’ve ever had the privilege to meet.
I gonna go out on a limb here, I bet over time, with thoughtful consideration, respectful perspective and genuine courtesy you’ve built thousands if not tens of thousands of un-burnable bridges. Bridges that will take you everywhere you care to go.
Cheers.
You make me laugh Mr. Shaw. (That’s the highest compliment I give.)
Russell – I’ve never even met you in person and I love you. (…and love to play with fire btw)
Like I said in another post, real estate doesn’t allow you maximum usage of your fullest potential. You should consider getting into comedy writing for TV or Movies..LOL..
I can only imagine how you felt but two days have passed and I’m sure you’re planning on building NEW bridges. You’re a very funny, blunt, and Straight Arrow soul…
It’s definitely their loss. I enjoy your work immensely.
@ines I have met him, and after one dinner out, my sides hurt so hard from laughing that it covered over the pain of embarrassment. I met our waitress at a dinner a month later and she wanted to know where my “father” was…. He’s very memorable!
Matthew – one of these day I will have the pleasure of having dinner with both of you.

At the same time?
yes….at the same time would be nice….but I will settle with one at a time, how about that?
Why don’t We ALL, (And I Mean EVERYONE) Get Together some time!
Russell,
You got me… can’t remember last time I laughed so much. I’ve had dinner with Russell and it was terrific!
Silly me – I just discovered last night why you were burning bridges. So much happens when you take a few days off.
A great ending to the old year, burn a few bridges and never look back.
