OK, my friends.

I apologize, my friends.

I had a bit of a false start there, my friends, but I think I've got the hang of this now.

My friends, I come to you today, my friends, on this blog, my friends, to ask you, my friends, to be my friends.

My Friends, a good friends of mine -- you might know him... wink wink... I mean, :-)... I mean ;-) Was that right? LOL (That means 'Lots of Laughter'. Isn't that great, my friends!).

Put me in touch with a friend, my friends, who suggested this wonderful new tool to talk to you, my friends, the American people. Especially, my friends, my young friends.
