As always, long overdo.

My Dearest Joe, Well.. it's been a long time. I write this letter from what is probably a distant place to you. Forgive my negligence these many many months, but the truth is, I had forgotten you. But this night, I am particularily lethargic. I was looking through some of my old computer files and I came to an old Xanga site.. Chris and Tomi's. After reading some of their last entries (...

Follow Your Heart Man

Dear FutureMe, Follow your heart! You wrote a letter on the 16th explaining your feelings. You still haven't sent it. You thought you were going to call this evening to talk about it, or at least talk about talking about it. You know you want to. Well, if you follow your heart and you are reading this share it with her. I think you are a wimp if you do not act on it. It is a com...

For the end of 2006...

Dear FutureMe, How's the writing coming? I hope you managed to get yourself in a routine where you were spending a few hours a day banging on a keyboard, and that you stuck to this routine for at least a few months. Because that's the only way you'll ever know if you have a good book in you. And it would be a shame if you never find out. I also hope the investments I made for you did reas...

Winter Solstice Eve

Dear FutureMe, Do you remember today? Have you forgotten yourself already? You were miserable at your job -- your editor snapped at you and you still haven't had a chance to write a decent sentence since November -- yet you decided to turn down another job offer. It was the tedium that persuaded you. No need to trade one tedium for another. Once you made the decision, there was that ...

A year from today.

This is an Email you remind yourself what you were like a year ago today. If you remember today exactly, you had a doctor's appointment today to check up on the heart surgery you had. You are checking your email and surfing the net while you mom is cleaning up. There is a plumber coming tomorrow to fix the garbage disposal. After this email you are going to watch the second episode of Sex i...

It's Christmas... time to reflect

Dear FutureMe, I'm 38 and this Christmas I remember all those other Christmases that have come before. As I listen to the Christmas music I remember the thoughts I had listening to them in years past. I remember how lonely I was. I remember watching the love between couples, and I remember telling God, Santa, and whoever else would listen, how I only wanted my companion, my soulmate, m...
