Rich - I let JE know a day ago that I have been in the hos=ital dealing with a scare. All is well now but I was out of commission for=most of the last two months.

Apologize for droppi=g out and not being available.

JE - I would=like to ask if we could catch up if it is still appropriate. On our existi=g work and on future possibilities.

Rich - = have a small outstanding expense from the work together and am wondering =f I can still invoice for this. It's less than $3k I believe and I tol= my secretary to hold on billing until I was better and addressed my unava=lability.

Respectfully,

Tyler=Shears
