Hey Shells,

Sorry it took so long to get the photo to you. When I got back from
Toronto, I went back to work, and got so busy I didn't have time to
get to the post office (* hangs head in shame *)- when I realized how
much time was passing, I made sure I got it in the mail to you.

LOL. I wish I had been a fly on the wall when you got the photo. I
would have loved to see the look on your face when you opened the
envelope.

So Zach kept quiet about the photo, eh? He was tickled when he saw it
and knew that it was going to be a surprise for you. He really did
seem sorry not to be finally meeting you, kid - he really did.

Ruth and I were talking to him about different projects he had done.
He seemed surprised that I could talk about a number of films he had
been in. I grinned and told him it was all "Shelly's influence", that
I had seen various films of his at your urging.

So, Shells m'dear, you must come to AvCon07 and the committee will do
all it can (yes, I know you are on the committee) to get your fella to
attend the convention. I want to get a picture of the two of you
together. LOL.

Zach looked thinner than on film, but looked good. Did I mention what
long eye lashes he has? How nice it was to look into those beautiful
blue eyes? Almost as nice as looking into a certain pair of green
eyes. LOLOLOLOL. You knew I'd mention Mickey before I as through,
right? LOL.

And that he said that sometimes his blue eyes change color, depending
on what he is wearing? That they sometimes look GREEN ???? LOLOLOLOL
