Dear Sister
I am sorry too. Is that our unresolved issue? The issue being that I have not apologized to you too?

Let's move beyond the neurotic bullshit. I am sorry I did not realize how painful the subject is. I think it had something to do with what happened when you worked at HEW in Rockville. You never would talk about that.

Well I had a nice talk with Sam and he said the best thing I could do was write you a note.

Well you know how I love to write
OK
We are now beyond what happened last week, yes I know I coulda would a should a too.
I realize now you were looking for an apology.
That is why we had the same conversation over and over because it was eating at you, so you are still angry with me.
Have you forgiven me or are you just saying you are sorry out of some guilt

I am here cause you wanted me to move here. I may have ruined your life, "been behind every bad decision" you made but baby sister the things I have done for you out of love for our mother...well
no need to bring that up
all is well with me I am happy in corpus christi I can be happy here, think about whether you really want me to come back for any other reason than the money i kick in.
in friendship
your brudder.
I am sorry I could have said it better.
If you want me to apologize
I am

If you want me to apologize
I am sorry I did not understand why you kept bringing the subject up again. Neurotic is a word I heard a lot from Crazy Mike when we were growing up.
Now I understand what the issue was, it was your anger, I thought it was over but it was not I needed to apologize for my neuroses. I am sorry, I won't bring the subject up again. Please do not bring it up again either. OK? notice the assumptive close

[SadLuckDame]

I forgive you, I always do...
Anyway, this prolly wasn't written to me, cause I can't remember anything I'd need an apology on from you, but only I liked the apology and its genuineness that I couldn't not be here in it, my apologies for interrupting,

[stilltrucking]

Please interupt me anytime it pleases you.

My mother once said the world would never find peace until men fell at their women's feet and asked for forgiveness. This is true all over the world in the jungles of Mexico, in the back streets of Shang Hai, in New York cocktail bars, husbands are getting drunk while the women stay home with the babes of their ever darkening future. If these men stop the machine and come home and get on their knees and ask for forgiveness and the women bless them peace will suddenly descend on the earth with a great silence like the inherent silence of the apocalypse.

It works on me,
I'm a sucker for apologies
there's just something to it, deserved or not,
it's often an attractive gesture.

How goes you?
I'd been thinking girl stuffs like...cat got your tongue and so on and maybe we know the same cat, which I liked going down that trip for a bit, kind of found the humor in it. I've been getting over a bug, I bit it back. I'm not good on letting the flu creep in, I sort of kick it off pretty dang hard, well as tough as a girl can kick.

Doing good Dame, I finally made it to the coast. Living in a motel in Corpus Christi, I got some pictures to post later. This motel is so convientent, next door is a gun shop, a bar, a liquor store and a tattoo palor. I lack for nothing

Sorry to hear you are down with a cold, I hope it ain't the same bug mingo had. That sounded bad.

Be back later, I am on my way to the beach right now

[the mingo]

Merry Christmas to you Jack and to the beach and to Corpus Christi and the motel and gun shop liquor store tattoo parlor et al.

[constantine]

merry christmas jack and mingo! glad tidings and good fortune!

[SadLuckDame]

Merry Christmas Jack, it's gotta be a lot of lit up beach, bet it sparkles to and fro, bet the girls are going holiday suits and red, green, silvers and golds. Find a little tree to put a star fish on, to hang some shells and mail me the portrait or poor tree tomorrow, if you can, I'll smile regardless just knowing you're tidings and safe and cheery.

[SadLuckDame]

I miss talking to you.
