it has been a long while! hoping you are well...i may well be in cali soon....riz
wine and turkey are flowing!! this time,
please let me take off my coat before
you place the wine glass in my hand! ha!
claiming that hard place to be preferrable,
shocked responses to noodle-making at 3
a.m., coffee, birthday whiskey, Ben's glasses
and his voice -- these are a few of my
favorite things.
laugh!!!! never heared something like that
before!!!!! and I miss it soooo bad! him
talking to himself and creating a whole new
vocabulary....wow....!!!! now one might think
this guy is crazy... well, he is not one of the
mainstream people...thank god...he is
creative...special...kind...and a friend!!!!
ben, I miss you!
would walk around Amsterdam with me,
dripping wet and hacking phlem with a
smile. I am totally thrilled that after
all of our globe-trotting, both
together and apart, we ended up on the
same coast! Thanks for saving me from
all the unessasary, polite conversation
that one needs to have with people that
they do not know at Broadmead and I am
still anxiously awaiting the release of
your hit album, Breakdancing in
Italian.
