Lynn’s Living With a Guy

Monday, September 30th, 2002

Dear   [Lynn],

Wow.

I tried calling you over the weekend and got your voice mail greeting, in which you said that callers could leave messages for [that guy you live with now] and your children. Is this the big change you were talking about? Are you and [that fellow], and item now? If so, I couldn’t be happier for you. You guys seem to have so much in common yet compliment each other so well, especially the way he helps you haul stuff around for your [...] business. If I’m off the wall here, forgive me. But I just didn’t want you to feel self-conscious telling me about this, if this is in fact what the big change is. :-)

Do tell me more. :-)

Tom

Flood Watch

Friday, September 27th, 2002

Dear   [Tad],

Yep, flood watch here as well. I have a small leak in the one porch roof that showed up today. Trying to isolate that at lunch time. But yes, we very much need the rain here too.

Yes, on the meetings, between two and three weeks notice would be great for me, if possible.

Take care and don’t eat too much in Johnstown this weekend. Hopefully, if you’re going to be helping your grandmother move, the rain will let up for you.

Later,
Tom

Hilary Cox?

Friday, September 27th, 2002

Dear   [Tad],

Hilary Cox? Hmmm, the name sounds familiar, but I don’t believe I’ve ever met him.

Anyway, have fun in J-town this weekend, and let me know when the next meeting will be held.

Dear Iris

Thursday, September 26th, 2002

Dear   [Iris],

Well, guess what? I just got invited to my sisters for dinner. Not sure when I’ll be back. If it’s not too late, I’ll call you. Otherwise, I’ll try you over the weekend.

Don’t get too wet in all this rain. :)

Bussing it with Tad

Tuesday, September 24th, 2002

Hey [Tad].

No, I haven’t checked the train yet. If it is sold out, I can take the bus. Just let me know by Thursday whether you plan to be around this weekend or not.

The job isn’t going so well right now. Not bad, but not great either. I’ll tell you more about it when next we chat on the phone or in person.

I have a 1:30 meeting to dial into today. So I’ll talk with you later on.

More later,
Tom

Tad’s Buying a House

Monday, September 23rd, 2002

Dear   [Tad],

Hey good buddy.

Good luck on buying your home. That sounds wonderful for you. How far is that from work for you? Will you still be able to ride with   [Morra]?

I’ll call you to discuss the weekend plans. Can I call you there at the school within the hour? Will you be in your office?

If I don’t get you today, I’ll call you tonight at home.

By the way, is [Elstan] still working there this school year?

Tom

Lynn’s Secret Changes

Friday, September 13th, 2002

Dear   [Lynn],

Phew. That’s a relief, on all things that are remaining the same in your life. I am understandably curious about what the change(s) are. Whenever you’re ready, tell me.

I’m cheering for ya. Hang in there.

Pavilion Progress

Thursday, September 12th, 2002

[Preparing the bed for the slab on the west side of the pavilion.]

Well, I’m off to bed. I’m preparing a 12′ X 16′ X 6” bed for a concrete patio, and I have to tamp down the dirt tomorrow, now that the hole is all dug out. The stone to put in the bed is coming on Saturday, and I hope to order the cement before it gets too cold out.

Lynn Will Be 50 Soon

Thursday, September 12th, 2002

Dear   [Lynn],

Yes, I’ll be quiet for a while. You gave me enough. :)

You really have me curious about these “major changes.” Are you getting married? Are you selling your business? Have you turned lesbian? :) If you had, you would not be the first woman I dated who went that route after we were done.

Sorry to hear that your ex is being such a putz. He seems to be getting worse and worse. If he is in the financial trouble you suspect, he may behave even more psychotically. Be careful and watch your back.

You don’t look a day over 40, and I’m not kidding. Those college girls really don’t hold a candle to you, you know? They appear as inexperienced kids, while you, …, you look and behave like a really classy woman. I’ve gotten to know lots of college kids in my day and believe me, they have nothing on you, sweetie. My mom still raves about the day she first met you at the airport in State College. Something about your little travel bags, long skirt, and boots that really impressed her and convinced her that you really know how to dress without appearing gaudy.

Well, hang in there. I’m always here should you need to talk.

Later,
Tom Hesley
