It's never safe to be in or out of the water, John! You should know
that one by now. My god man, you didn't really think you could leave
did you? However, you know what? It could be much worse, you could
have The Hotel California stuck in your head. Curse you and your
infernal madness, i'll be stuck with that for the rest of the
evening. pah!
But now that i have your new address i can bother you even more (oh
sweet, sweet vengeance).
Great to see you John, i'll write soon--promise.
Gary

youthful dreaming is itself "growing up," as though adulthood were
the passive conclusion to a doomed activity and hope during
