Good
morning HFG,
How
are you? Is your back feeling
better? You need to be supple
tomorrow. Your beautiful body is the
star of the show. I am counting minutes
until I see you. I am in serious need of
some Roya.
It
looks like a beautiful day. I will be
running around a little so I should get outside for a change. What are you up to?
A
big fan of you,
SYB

Good
morning my sex object:
You
keep blindsiding me. I keep thinking I know when you go to bed, between 10 and
11 but you stay up later!
I'm
glad Piggy was rescued without any incident. I actually hate my plumber and am
looking for a new one. They really have to have nothing to do and think of you
as a great client to come rushing over. That's what supers are good for.
Sometimes, I really miss living in a building with a whole staff. The minute
the kids are in college I'm back in Manhattan!
Yes,
of course I know who Al Franken is. Didn't he start on SNL? I feel better about
the states, now that you said that. I was feeling like one of those fat
benighted people who eat potato chips and watch reality shows all day. I don't
want to be that kind of an American!
It's
funny your mom and wife will leave on the same day. You won't have any women
around except your girlfriend : )
I'm
home all day today thank God. Just a trip to the nail salon for a pedicure. Why
are you running around today? Where are we going tomorrow?
Don't
worry I'll be as supple as necessary! I love you SYB!
XOXOXOXOXO
HFG

Hello
HFG,
My
sleep habits are all messed up. I have
been going to sleep really early, or really late. I am trying to stay away from Coke, the
computer and the tv late in the evening.
I don't have a regular bed time anymore.
I need to work on that. I am
prone to insomnia. I am supposed to take
meds when I have trouble, but I don't like them. Summer always seems to be a trigger. Maybe the extra daylight messes me up or the
temps.
I
have a great landlord. He doesn't live
in the building, but is close by. He even
once fixed my stove on Thanksgiving Day.
It is nice.
Al Franken did start on SNL.
Benighted? That is an odd
construction of a word. I had to look it
up. It does not sound like it means what
it does. If beloved means…
Not
knowing geography proves you are American.
We on the coasts dismiss the rest of the country. It is only a problem if you are Al Gore.
It
is funny about the departure date. That
will be chaos. I hope my girlfriend is
available. The opportunity it presents
is tremendous.
I
have meetings in different offices. I
was not able to coordinate them based on my train schedule. As a result, I have to go back and forth
twice. Oh well, it is a beautiful
day. I will try to enjoy the weather on
the way to the train.
I
love you too HFG and your very supple body.
I am looking forward to getting my hands on you and it. About 28 hours to go. Woo Hoo!
XOXOXO
SYB

Well, the Coke, I'm happy about, the computer I'm not so sure. When
it's really hot and humid, sultry like, it can be way sexy, like a kind of
night that song Black Velvet reminds one of, but it ain't good for sleepin'.
Benighted? That is an odd
construction of a word. I had to look it
up. It does not sound like it means what
it does. If beloved means...the one who is loved, right? Benighted, means ignorant, like in the
dark.

Al Gore.
That's hilarious! What did he do, make a gaffe? Is that why he
disappeared? I haven't heard about him in ages. It's true the coastal people
are snobs.

Your girlfriend will try to make herself as available as possible :
)
I love you too HFG and your very supple body. I am looking forward to getting my hands on
you and it. About 28 hours to go. Woo Hoo!
Are we going to the Waldorf or another place? I really look forward
to seeing you. I can't wait!
I hope the meetings are going well.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Can
you see the tiny print? Is it tiny on your screen? My computer fucked up so
some lines are minuscule to me!

The
first one came back tiny. I think there
is something wrong on my end. It isn't
spacing between the lines properly. I
can read them on your second email.
The
computer thing is just short term. It
just means I am not going to spend lots of time mindlessly surfing. I will still check for your emails. I crave those.
Shouldn't
benighted be someone who is knighted? I
guess the K is missing. At first glance,
it looks like a good thing.
Al
won the popular vote thanks to us coastal folks. He lost the election because he is the
"coastiest" person on earth. A
smarty pants like him does not play well in farm country where people are every
bit as smart despite the lack of loafers.
I
have a room at the Helmsley Park Lane Hotel at 36 Central Park South. I should be able to get there at about
3:30. I will text a room number when I
have one. How do you feel about the no
talking rule?
The
meetings have been going well so far. I
have to head uptown shortly for the last one.
At least the weather has been nice.
I
love you HFG. Tomorrow is going to be
great.

I
know, a couple of emails lately have come with a lot of space between the
paragraphs, but that's computers for you. I never try to figure them out. The
shopping spree at the Apple store the other day was the most boring chore ever!
I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I hate electronics, although due to
writing I was probably one of the earliest people on a computer.
Crave,
I like that word. I like you craving. I crave you SYB, all the freaking time.
You're
right, beknighted would be a cool word, but I don't think it even exists. It
should.
I
remember that election. I didn't vote, I was trying to lay low with the jury
duty people, but they eventually found me when I renewed my driver's license. I
keep thinking of what Isabela was learning about the American government, and
how much of a compromise it has been between the states, the feds, etc. (when I
was taking American history in 11th grade, I was too depressed to give a shit).
Anyway, Jefferson wanting the power to essentially staying with the people, and
Madison and Hamilton wanting a strong central government, because they felt the
farmers were too stupid to govern themselves. They needed others to govern for
them. Interesting idea at the time; I don't know how you figure farmers are
smart, not to say there can't be a smart farmer! But at any rate, now that the
government is owned by special interests, Jefferson's idea seems so much
better.
I'm
such a believer in the cult of the individual, so American of me. I believe
judging each person on his/her own merit, and nothing beyond. For example, I
probably have more in common with someone like Popo who is from Africa but is educated
and smart than with a very traditional person in an Iranian village. The
European aristocracy, for example, had a lot more in common cross countries
since they intermarried than they did with their own populace. Hence
revolutions : ) And now ends my goings
on.
HelmsleyPark Lane? You spoil me! Sounds great. I can't wait to see you. I want to get
under the sheets with you! No-talking rule is good but we do have to come up for
air after a while, don't we? : )
I
love you my Kevin. I'm so, so happy I get to see you.
XOXOXOXOXO
HFG

Take a look at this shit! Can you freaking believe it?! And he didn't kill 6 million, he killed 6 million Jews, he killed a lot more other people too. I can't stand it when people forget that! Did you know that the swastika is originally a harmless Indian symbol? It's not enough they've taken over the US, now India? This is too much, I tell ya. OK, either the CIA or the anti-defamation league or somebody is on their way. So, if I don't show up tomorrow, report it! : )

Farmers, their families and all of their animals literally live or die based on their decisions. They have to focus on important things or people die. Bankers and facility managers, not so much. We need a farmer for President. Where is Cinncinatus when we need him? I guarantee that the person who grows your organic vegetables is expert in chemistry, biology, math, geology and history. He probably is a carpenter and a plumber. And he is freakin buff and tan. I went to a farm school. Farming isn't what it used to be. Of equal importance politically, he pays more taxes than we do and provides a more important service. I serve the benighted. He serves the benighted and the beKnighted. He has every right to his choice for office as we do, perhaps more.
ParkLane should be a nice place. I hope the windows open. The rest of it I won't even notice. You will have my full and complete attention. I am craving you in a big way.
See you tomorrow HFG.

It is a bizarre choice of names. I don't think he will lose many customers.
They are indefatigable. I hope they were less confrontational than usual. It kind of amuses me the way they are surprised that other people don't jump when they say. Just like with Iran, they say stop or we will bomb you. Good luck with that.
They will probably disappear me too. Maybe they will lock us up together?
Love you hottie. See you tomorrow.

Having a smart boyfriend is a double edged sword : ) Had to look up Cincinnatus. It sounds like he was a really cool person.
You're right. I shouldn't stereotype farmers, especially a 200 years ago stereotype. Things have changed dramatically in agriculture. Do you know that a handful of companies control all the conventional food production in the US? And the evilest one of all, Monsanto, pressures farmers like the mob would?! I don't know about the ones who suck the life from the soil and spray everything with chemicals, but I have the utmost respect and admiration for small and organic farmers. It's their labor that puts food on our tables, and it's horribly hard work. I often have a fantasy of having a farm, but alas, I'd probably sit in the manor house while the tenant farmers work, and just go out from time to time to prune and pick a couple of tomatoes, as I do now in my own garden. I'm horribly rarefied. But we all have been born to what we've been born. I will definitely let you know how that farm upstate is. One of these days, I'll make it up there.
Boy, these discussions with you are so much fun! I can't wait until tomorrow!!!!!!! but not for the discussions : ) just to see your handsome face, short hair or not : )
XOXOXOXO

Hey HFG,
I used to work for a cotton company. Growing that means using all kinds of chemicals. They even invented B+ cotton which is resistant to the chemicals so they could use even more. Makes me want to wear hemp, except for the itching ugly part. I would love to live on a farm, with necessary comforts of course, like someone to do the farming. I am rarefied too. One of my in-laws lives on a farm like that. It is kind of cool. I can't stay long though.
I am more smarty pants than smart. That was sort of a geeky reference.
Good night you. I am so excited to see you. I love you.

Hey you:
You definitely are a smarty pants.
You've had all sorts of interesting jobs. I'm glad you aren't near chemicals anymore though. I know that you're rarefied. That's one of the things I like about you. I'm sorry that you're an insomniac. I'm too. I guess I've been since I was a child. I always had trouble going to sleep. Now, I have a whole routine--wine, joint, and half a trazodone. It's only 25mgs, my thyroid doctor laughed about it. But it helps. It's the only pharmaceutical I take thank God. But it isn't addictive and it has no side effects, so it's fine. I wonder if being an insomniac is one of those modern neurotic diseases like eating disorders. I always wonder what would happen if I just stay up a few nights? After sometime, I'll sleep. So, if we put in an exhausting day doing hard labor, I bet we'd sleep. We have the disease of rarefied neurotics : )
I love you. I can't wait to wrap my arms around you.
XOXOXOXOXO
HFG.
