    I was going to write something witty, but the look in his eyes prevented me from doing so. I always wonder the same thing when I see them in cages, and am always saddened by their plight. Yes, they're fed and given 'creature comforts', but so are guys in prison.

    I know EXACTLY what he was thinking [he's a cousin], and it won't cost you ANYthing to find out! I told him you were coming and he said "GREAT... I wouldn't want anyone but Mike Ball doing my portrait!!" He was right... with good reason-- SMASHING image!!
