Dear Sister Diane
Hi Diane.
Oh, things are going well.
Yes, Mom mentioned that Marci had visited. She even drove herself to Altoona. She’s definitely a woman now. My how time flies!
But last weekend was very nice. I went to an alumni event at Overbrook School for the Blind on Saturday. Loads of fun, and I met a special lady. We ended up spending the rest of the day together talking, dancing, and singing, and didn’t say good bye until after midnight.
It turns out that she lives in West Virginia, and had come in for the weekend. But given my track record with long distance relationships (very bad), I really wasn’t interested in maintaining contact after I left that night. I didn’t even ask her for her phone number. I suppose it was just one of those intense romantic interludes. Trying to keep it alive with almost 400 miles separating us would have only poisoned the memories of Saturday. But the way things turned out, the good memories are intact, and if she ever comes back to Philly for a visit, perhaps I’ll run into her again.
I go to camp on July 17th and will be there until July 28th. I’ll be coming home on July 28th and will be there until August 1st. A little, but welcomed visit indeed.
Well, I have to get back to work too. Will talk to you soon.
