The NW overflight, what REALLY happened

wrote

Hey Jim..... Merry Christmas sir......

And to you, Ben.

It so happens that this Christmas I get to spend most of my time in bed.
Seems as though I decided to get a case of Pneumonia, a couple days ago. I
get out of breath, just standing up long enough to take a shower to blow the
stink off. That's tough for me to get used to, but I'll adapt until I get
better, I guess.

You do what you can to get some air time for me, and keep that pretty blue
and orange bird in the sky, OK?

So until we meet again, Merry Christmas from North Carolina!
