    I had a sad but almost funny dream about Michael many years ago. I was being introduced to him and was feeling very embarassed. All I could say was, "I can't believe I'm shaking your hand!" He smiled warmly and replied, "That's nothing, I do it all the time!" I've never really met him but I'll bet he has the grace!
