Speaking of Relationships

“What we do in LIFE, echoes in eternity.”  --Maximus, GLADIATOR, the 2000 motion-picture 
Alan is going to London again—but this time with Lauren.  What a fun father/daughter trip.  They’ll be there later this month.  Alan was intrigued by the PRET A MANGER business and he managed to squeeze-in a meeting with them.  Maybe he can bring the concept to the USA.  It’s probably too early...but one never knows. 
Alan already bought tickets to see Barbra Streisand at the Wembley Arena in London during her 26-Show Tour with the London gigs set for April 20, 25, 27, 29.  I get to work, remaining here in Los Angeles...but at least he’ll send me some postcards. 
Dorothy Rua wrote again using a cute ‘kids’ card: 
Michael,  I’m really glad you enjoyed the “Kid on the Mailbox” card.  RoseMarie and I were in Berkeley waiting for the theater to open for SIRENS when we decided to stop in the shop next door.  I saw that card and I yell, “Michael...that’s Michael!”  It was perfect.  It definitely was you.  I even got your NEXT Birthday card at that shop on that very day.  You’ll have to wait until 5-26-95 to get it! 
Are you planning a trip to Massachusetts for your next vacation?  You’d be in heaven over there with all of the Norman Rockwell paintings.  Don’t forget your $money$.  I’m sure you’ll want to pick up a few items—at least some postcards. 
I haven’t made it to Pismo Beach with Jean yet, but I still plan to get down there.  I’m so jealous that you went to Santa Barbara.  It really would be fun to meet there, wouldn’t it?  I can see us people watching near the beach with a glass, or more like chilled white wine and seafood.  Hmmm.... 
And yes, you must plan a weekend with special friends up here.  Does everyone else miss you as much as I do?  So, your friend Chris Hicks is really getting married?  Did you think she would?  Well, sounds like you may be part of the big event...sounds like this could also be the beginning of three weddings... 
Speaking of relationships...how is/are yours doing?  Or are you involved in one (or any) right now?  Do hope your days include moments of pleasure no matter who you’re sharing them with.  We all deserve at least some of those moments, don’t we?   The lucky ones get them! 

Hope the next few weeks will bring at least SOME interesting experiences for me so I can share the inb my next card to you.  If some of the dreams I’ve had lately (while asleep) were reality, you’d have some interesting reading in these cards! Much Love, Dorothy
