Humbly apologize for my absence. I had pressing family matters. I had to take sons and daughters and our nine grandchildren out to family dinner at the Chinese Kitchen buffet. Was tremendous strain on already taxed pocket book of grand "pop" but was need for celebration of oldest granddaughter's 15th year of life on this earth. Other children and six other grandchildren were in another state of this beautiful country so they could not come. Besides, "Blossom" of my wife's heart (our youngest daughter and mother of six of our grandkids - all boys) had recently given birth and travel not advised for grand "pops" newest detective.
So sorry, but choice between family and my needs always swing pendulum away from honorable grand "pop" and his needs or wants.
That is a fine film and I am sure everyone enjoyed Honorable leaders review of same. My thoughts were with you all. Thank you so much.
A statement that was once made regarding the venerable Charlie Chan can be made for you as well, if I may paraphrase: "Yours isn't a family, it's an INSTITUTION!" I hope that you will tell us about your family celebration held at that Chinese restaurant.
