Charles,
Oh, for sure, absolutely, yessiree, no doubt what-so-ever, my good and decent friend, it's an absolute given. Ole Danny Boy wouldn't be able to live the rest of his life with a clean and clear conscience if he did not sit down, break bread and have one helluva good snort with THE one person who epitomized the exposing of absolute corruption that rocks the structure and walls of our New Brunswick legislature, THE HOUSE OF THE PEOPLE, to it's very core and foundation, the man who defined life from the perspective of the Sergeant-at-arms, who brought down high ranking personel far, far too numerous to mention and who still, to this very day, makes politicians, public servants, and even the local constabulary, squirm in their seats. If he out and out neglected to bid you a fond ADIEUS, my friend, he would never, ever be able to rest easy until offereing you an all-expenses-paid trip to the west coast of this great country to mend fences and make things right.
To leave and not say good-bye??? Well that, Charlie would be like George Jefferson movin' on up to the east side without sayin' adios to Archie. Might as well give a fella a kick in the nuts.
And I know damn well, Charlie, that he would finally give you your due and tell you that you have done, and continue to do, ONE HELLUVA FINE, FINE SUPER FINE JOB!!!!
