Ruth,

I think he is more oriented toward being a center field power broker, which
means he would direct the gathering crew of devout searchers while finding a
way to secretly corner the retail chinker's market on cow pies. I would not
blame him if he wanted to keep this ambition secret. Or, he is more likely to
partner with someone who has a patent on cow pie genes, not dockers. He keeps
promising to look out for me in my old age and I can see my octogenarian
title, "Executive Director of the Cow Pie Genome Project." Unfortunately I
feel compelled to share this little missive with him and I am sure I will be
paid with a load of the precious commodity soon enough.
