Rush: How are you tonight…how was Disney?
Matt1: I didn’t realize there was a colorized Chan!
Matt1: Very good and “magically” as always, thnx!
Matt1: Hope you are well too
Rush: Well…it seems to me it was done as inexpensively as possible!
Rush: BUT…interesting!
Matt1: I scanned through it and agree
Rush: Doing well, thank you! Marie and I are both back at work.
Matt1: For me, I’m a b/w Chan fan
Rush: In our new schools…
Matt1: Ah, very good

Rush: It is interesting to see how “color” adds a dimension.
Matt1: Smooth so far at school?
Matt1: Agreed
