Howdy.

Daniel, this isn't a question so much as an apology and thank-you.

A couple of years ago, I saw you were playing in Ivey's room at the Aria. You're my favorite player, and I waited for a couple of hours to take a picture with you.

Two months ago, I was diagnosed with a form of high functioning autism. This has put a lot of my past behaviors into a new light. Specifically, I learned that "hanging around for four hours waiting for Daniel Negreanu to finish playing so that I can get a picture with him" is probably not "socially appropriate."

Indeed, many of my behaviors are not "socially appropriate," though I'm trying to work on them.

Anyway, I wanted to A) Apologize for the behavior, and B) let you know how cool it was that you took the picture with me anyway.

Thanks.
