Dear [Tad],
Yep, Rich is having his party on Saturday, Dec. 18th. I guess we won’t see you there this year. Thanks anyway. I’ll make other arrangements.
We did pretty well on the alumni tickets. I won, three times! 
I believe there were only 15 tickets unsold. However, I don’t have the profit numbers. Tony has that info. You didn’t win anything (for once). However, perhaps someone you sold tickets to won. I only have the winners’ names, but not who sold the tickets to them. Again, perhaps Tony knows that.
I’m still in contact with [Mentat]. I’ll mention to him that you said hello.
Things are going well here. I’ve Djed a couple weddings over the past few months, so business is picking up a little. Also, I’ve written some Windows software to improve the music retrieval capabilities on the computer, and the total song count right now is 34,530.
I was dating a prima ballerina from Pittsburgh a month or so in October. I was on the verge of falling in love with her, but she pulled away unexpectedly, and without explanation. She just stopped returning my calls. She’s originally from Romania, and had immigrated to this country some 14 years ago.
But she’s had trouble finding good-paying, full-time work here. So now, she’s quite disillusioned with the US, and wants to go back to Europe. However, since she’s not working full-time, she’s unable to afford the move. I think she was hoping that I’d move to Europe and take her with me. When I told her I wasn’t ready to make such a move, especially only after a month of knowing her, she became distant, and now, won’t return my calls or emails. But hey, that’s the breaks.
Well, gotta get back to work, so I’ll talk to you later. Take care, and say hi to [Morra], and Roxy.
Tom
