some thoughts while enjoying cafe rio at home

Dear Yolanda,

I know we've never met, and probably never will, but I testify that your Lime Pie is Key. Thank you for sharing it with gringas like myself. I love to get it free when I take the survey.

Dear Beehive,

I have to say that I'm disappointed that you still read my blog. I know that it's out there for anyone and everyone to see, but I remember last fall when your mom asked you to not get on the blogs anymore and you promised that you wouldn't. I hope you're still close with your mom. I hope you do what she asks you to do. And I hope you won't tell people that my friend is pregnant -- she is not.

Dear Provo,

Is anyone interested in starting up a Fleetwood Mac cover band? I don't know if I can commit to joining, but I'd certainly be your biggest fan.

Dear Dave, Carter, LeRoi, Steffan, and Boyd,

I know we have a long history, you five and myself; twelve years is a long time, even if I only see you when you come in to town. You will be here next week, but I have a confession: I'm tired. Really tired. I don't know that the drive is worth it - it's my favorite local venue, don't get me wrong, but, man, it's a drive. Plus, let's be honest: your last show wasn't as great as it maybe could have been. I remember; and I listen to it on the three CDs. (Well, maybe just the one.) Any way, please don't break up with me if I don't show up next week. I know you can, and probably will, have a better show than last time, but...truth be told, if I don't buy a ticket, that means I can use that money for Li'l ~j.'s school lunches for all of next month, and that is tempting to me. Very, very tempting. How's about next time, when I'm not so tired? It's not you, it's me. Let's still be friends. (Especially you, Steffan...)

Always,
~j5t.
