conversationalists Ive ever met though
he smokes like a chimney... I
remember those majestic walks we took
in supposedly impressive English
gardens while at Oxford... And of
course, how eight people slept in one
bedroom in Amsterdam... :)
movement while we tromped across a
snow covered lake and got our socks
wet. I wish he went to my law school!
I miss you across the sea, although SF is
wonderful. I hope you can save my ass next time
now that you'll be a lawyer and all...
