Gotta' picture frame for you........., when I come get my magazine back.....

I've been thinking about you the past month.

I collect comics and have a bunch of plastic sleeves so I put your magazine in one of those to protect it from future harm. Let me know when you're good on a return and I'll bring her along.

BTW, neat book!
