"Today I took a stomp to California to visit my old friend Dimetrodon at the Dinosaur retirement home, just to see how he is getting along," said Stegosaurus.

"Hello, friend Stegosaurus!" said Dimetrodon.

"Well met, Dimetrodon! How have you been?"

"I am very well, Stegosaurus, very well in large part thanks to you!
I want you to know how much I appreciate all that you've done for me, getting me a pension with the Dinosaur and Mythical Creature Screen Actor's Guild local 14065, and a very nice cave at the Dinosaur retirement home."

"I'm always pleased to lend a helping claw," said Stegosaurus. "Very glad to do it."

"My friends Nyasassaurus and Moschops are here, I am well fed, my cave is cozy, I'm so happy."

"How do you spend your retirement?" asked Stegosaurus. "Do you play bingo? Do you stomp forthrightly on field trips?"

"We used to play bingo," rejoined Dimetrodon, "Unfortunately I think one cold day last winter we ate the mammal who calls out the numbers, and they don't let us play that anymore."

"Oh, my," said Stegosaurus.

"This past spring we all stomped down to Bradenton, Florida on a field trip," said Dimetrodon. "It was a very nice relaxing time mostly visiting with my friend and fellow synapsid Moschops. He lives here, but we just happened to catch up and spend a lot of time reminiscing about days gone by, running long, good natured poker games by the beach, stalking the locals for an afternoon snack, you know, the usual, not really much to write home about, but we had a good time."

"I'm so glad to see you well," said Stegosaurus.

"Enough about me," said Dimetrodon. "How are you doing?"

"I am well, and still pursuing my graduate studies as a Doctor with a specialty in tree disease." said Stegosaurus.

"I am sure you will succeed, you have determination." said Dimetrodon.

"Thank you kindly," said Stegosaurus. "Say hi to Moschops and Nyasassaurus for me. While I am in California I am going to stomp by and check in with my agent Argentinosaurus."

"Be well, friend," said Dimetrodon. "Thank you again for all your kindnesses to me. If there is any thing I can do to return the favor, please don't hesitate to let me know."
