Today’s Cryptogram

You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications, unfortunately they are copyrighted so we can't use them here. So, we're just going to make up our own.
The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.
Solving the puzzle under 8 minutes is good, under 6 very good, under 4 excellent and under 2 "you're a pro!"
Those of you looking for an added challenge can try to solve one sentence or even one word at a time, i.e. solve the entire first line, then go to the second line etc.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
AND REGENERATE SOME NEW BRAIN CELLS (currently at 70!)
Solution to our last puzzle:
I DON’T FEEL OLD. I DON’T FEEL ANYTHING UNTIL NOON. THEN IT’S TIME FOR MY NAP. —BOB HOPE
Solved that one without a pencil or Hal.
Are you serious?
You’re number 71!
Yeah. Contraction and author’s first name. That gave me the last name
Only way to fly! I enjoy the added challenge. Forces me to recall multiple letters simultaneously.
Glad to see I’m not alone
An absolute zip because of the world structure. First word is the key. Less than 2 minutes.
I started with the last name, because it’s very common, and after that things fell in nicely.
I’ll give it a shot. I happened to get caught on the couch without a pencil. Worse than that, without coffee.
Thanks.
Last letter of the contraction, word after the comma, word after the contraction, off to the races.
Boy, that sounds like a warning...
WOW.....MOM upside down....
That sure fell into place swiftly
Reminiscent of the guy they called Tex and it was found out he was from Baton Rouge...
Upon being questioned he said:
You man enough to call me Louise????
