04 06 07 58
Mike Collins (CAPCOM): I got a message for you while you were asleep. Valerie said to tell you that she and the kids are leaving for church about 11:30 and eagerly awaiting your return. She said presents are magically starting to appear under the Christmas tree again so it looks like a double barrel Christmas. Over.
04 06 08 16
Bill Anders (LMP): You can't beat a deal like that. How was Christmas at your house today?
04 06 08 26
Mike Collins (CAPCOM): Early and busy as usual. I told Michael you guys are up there, and he said who's driving?
04 06 08 39
Bill Anders (LMP): That's a good question. I think Isaac Newton is doing most of the driving right now.
