There's Only One

Words swim farther than a man can walk.--Lawrence Hill, SOMEONE KNOWS MY NAME
Alan and I found another good one this week ‘at the movies’.  We came across BENNY AND JOON, starring Johnny Depp and Mary Stuart Masterson.   
It was the ideal romantic comedy.   It was just what we were in the mood for.   It was kind of cute and original because Benny must take care of his sister Joon:  left to her own devices, she's a tragedy waiting to happen.  When Benny brings his friend's eccentric cousin Sam into his house, he hits it off with Joon.  As Sam and Joon fall in love, Benny becomes jealous.  
If you're one who didn't really like Johnny Depp before you'll surely start to like him after this movie.  There's only one 'Johnny Depp'.

Former coworker, Reed Campbell, went off to Vancouver and sent a postcard for me from there:
4-17-93Hi Michael, Here for a week, sightseeing and a travel convention.  So far the usual dull stuff.  Keep looking for another Michael…but I guess there’s only one.  See you at Christmas…I hope.Best, Reed

And it was a needed weekend getaway for Alan and me.  We flew to Oakland and drove up to a place called Gualala.   We wrote postcards to each other. 
4/20/93Michael, We really didn’t discuss our Anniversary today.  It’s been 27 MONTHS.  I Love You and Want you to know that you’re the greatest.  1993 will bring great things to American Express.  You…I hope the itches have disappeared by now.Love,Alan
One of the greatest gifts we can offer people is to embody non-attachment and non-fear.  Happiness is possible.  True Love is generated from within.  You need to feel complete in yourself, not needing something from outside.--Thich Nhat HanhHOW TO LOVE
