Twenty-nine

 Peggy,

    Still waiting for my astrology book. Not even sure why I bought it. Yeah, I'm not surprised "a lot" of your clients use it to guide their lives. Your letter to me about what the stars said we were was, as every cool person is fond of saying these days, "spot on". While it is hard to believe the basis is kind of bullshit. Are they that desperate? Well, the illnesses have something to do with it, I understand that but...

    I'm sorry about Steve. There is no way to ease the pain of someone's death. I think suddenness can be a good thing...(I know, I know, what I just said...) That... Anyway, I am sorry. He and I did have a short friendship back in the day. In our gatherings, he and I had some very constructive conversations and actually had some fun in there, whatever fun I could have back then.

    Yes, we still walk softly. And yes, I still read a lot, though not as much science fiction. I, too, love movies. But god no, not horror. Don't see how you can watch that kind of stuff. Tried a couple of times when I was a kid but the fear was too real and I held on to it for too long.
