Today’s Cryptogram

Today’s challenge: Try solving each sentence at a time.
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!"
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.
Solution to our last puzzle:
I’M A SUCCESS TODAY BECAUSE I HAD A FRIEND WHO BELIEVED IN ME, AND I DIDN’T HAVE THE HEART TO LET HIM DOWN. ---ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Nice but it took me 5 minutes. I guessed at the first word and it came together.
Took a guess at contraction or possessive... guessed right, and the rest kinda fell into place.

Four minutes, which is good for me.
Two minutes and the first time the author was in the first three words filled in. I did the contraction and the name. Then the rest was straightforward.
Tried earlier this AM, had to leave, came back ‘guessed’ at and got the first word and it was
‘Katy bar the door, run into the roundhouse Nelly, they can’t corner you there’
