I am
currently in Del Mar over at our rented studio cliff house enjoying the most
beautiful springtime day, the one side window next to the two oversized windows open allowing the ocean swept
fresh air to keep me fully “ionized” having

during last night’s sunset after a day of very stormy weather that began with
my dog Pypeetoe and I taking a run in the
rather cold but so awesomely refreshing rain breathing in the air that no one
had yet to inhale and ending with Marie’s 14 year old JoNathan handing me at the bottom of the
stairs a glass of the sweetest tasting fresh orange juice that he had so very
thoughtfully squeezed.
I have
thought a lot about you even though we only got to spend a short time together
and both you and your companion were suffering a little from sunburn, not to
mention how when we ended our conversation you were smart enough to want to
find shade, to mention little of your “lost” driver - I wasn’t sure if you were

Oh my goodness -- I didn't recognize the name! Yes,
that was I. Thanks so much for following up with me.

your book? I've thought of it a few times over the past 8 months!
Kind regards,
Mike
