Lynn Will Be 50 Soon
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
