I do envy him but think it couldn't happen to a nicer person or a better communicator.
... and with regard to another thread at the moment, this is a man who both knows what he's talking about and could talk about it in the best way. | Fortunately I have most of DA's stuff on DVD so am not restricted to the TV schedule. 
His book "Life on Air" is a good read. I agree with you on your assessment of it.
