“Well isn’t this a curious case? I still remember Gilbert trying to eliminate me from the face of the earth – quite literally. And it’s still somewhat surprising to me that he wasn’t successful. But you know – things have clearly changed a lot since then. And it’s for the best honestly. I don’t know he’s – he’s very interesting and I can’t help but have a certain respect for him these days. He’s got a perspective that I can appreciate. And it’s always kind of nice to see someone who doesn’t readily get caught up in the nonsense one so often sees around here. It makes for a neat contrast. 

So I guess we’re on pretty good terms these days. I’m glad for it and hope to sometimes hang out or something sometime. He’s good for a beer and a solid talk about whatever.”
