“It’s a friggin’ miracle … you woke up uncle Willy! I bet your old doc never seen this coming. Who would’a guessed you’d sleep for almost 35 years? How do ya feel?”

“Whoa, where else would I be, but what year is it? Last time I knew it was 1985 and we’d just dragged our sorry arses out of the clutches of that rascal Trudeau. I hope we’re well rid of him by now. Praise the Lord and for goodness sakes get me up, I want to see what’s goin’ on.”
