Joanna! I knew you would turn up sooner or LATER! I search your name now and then, here and there, cuz I never meant to lose touch. You look WONDERFUL! I often remember you and Oli, and I still have his little Sunday cup we got at Ed Debevik's in Beverly Hills on that first day, sitting on my shelf. Remember the limo in front of the Kodak Theater?? hahaha! He must still have dreams of Hollywood with his band...what do they play? I can't believe that's HIM in the photo...wow! I'm going to show my kids. Neil is married now, has a tuturing business & getting his teaching masters, Lisa is a lawyer in Beverly Hills, Tina is an Art Director for BCBG but went to NYC today to do job interviews, Cindy has a new baby and a new fashion company for girls clothing, Ryan is a tax accountant...how the time flies! I sell database service for Federally funded preschool called Head Start throughout the USA. I also found a very significant other John who I love a lot..he's very funny and smart. We met sitting next to each other at the Hollywood Bowl two years ago at a Neville Brothers concert...who knew...wasn't looking but found! WE MUST GET TOGETHER AGAIN!! It will be my turn to visit YOU....I always tell people I'm going so it will definitely HAPPEN! Are you on Facebook?? If so, invite me to be your friend ASAP..and anyway...please send me your email...mine is bvirani@earthlink.net Best to you always...lots of love...Beth xoxoox

Fair enough.

What a superb photo - is that all that's left of Brighton pier?
Thanks for the compliment of being a dynamic district co-ordinator.
See you've gone back into marketing - interesting - is marketing your niche or have you still not decided in your heart and this is a stop gap to pay the bills? Well done anyhow, sounds like a lucrative job. Are you enjoying it? - At least you've decided that your term in Glasgow has ended. Kept the flat?
Eventually got my townhouses rented long term. One for a year - the other for 6 months. One unfurnished - the other furnished, so nicely that I felt I could move in - alas though my canine tribe has a strong hold on me. People moved in on the 1st September.
I am really looking forward to a holiday but don't know exactly when and perhaps, I should wait and just go to Costa Rica for my 50th! How's Olly? Ferg has finally written to me. Received his first letter shortly after completing 1 million daimoku campaign. That was difficult but worth it!
Torm remains the dutiful son who contacts me regularly although, since he's hooked up with his beautiful Indian princess, its not quite as often.
Hey, did you see the 100m men's sprint @ the Olympics? - contemplating moving to Jamaica -phew!

He looks gorgeous. I bet he's had young women queuing up to uh... to buy milk, bread and a max pack of toilet roll.

My wife is small and odd and I love her to death. We're like two school kids together. She teaches Jpananese language and piano and she's very good at reminding me to take my passport and things like that, which, let's face it, comes in damn handy for someone like me. She also has an understated, rather cynical sense of humour which keeps me highly entertained. It's quit a tough relationship for various reasons, but nothing I can't handle.

Tell Olly if he wants, I could send him a poster of an octopus from japan.

Hi Jo -

Lovely to hear from you. Brighton is a nice place I think. You look great in your photo. Please say hi to Olly. In response to your question, I've got loads going on, so much I don't know where to start. I'm doing paintings and teaching English and learning Japanese and trying to set up a business and learning Japanese and my wife got sick and I had to work out how the Japanese medical system works, and all sorts of things. You can se from the profile that I'm in dialogue with the members on the Temple side and I've found that really not sinister the way I had expected, but actually they're pretty reasonable people, so I'll be meeting with my first priest at kunitachi next week. How is Olly? Is he doing sharks, whales, spaceships or what?
