thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Leo una carta de mi hermano que me escribio hace diez aos cuanto cuando solo tuvo nueve aos. Me dice:

Dear David,
Im sorry I havent written. Well, Im home sick with a stomach ache, but moms ok. My lizard (little pic of a Carolina anole) and Jasmin (my cat - R.I.P.) are ok. Well, I might get a ten speed this summer. I cant wait until Jan 30th. Schools ok even though my teachers goofy. Grandpa is fixing the slug bug car: it needs new seals he thinks. the whole family misses you very very much

from James

I spent my solstice reading a box of letters I dug out of a nook in my house.

gracias mi amor

I can relate, my father is French. That side of the family lives in France, but I don't know them that well (I think my father is something of a black sheep.) I am a chef so that my be genetic, maybe?

Bon matin (ah, c'est l'aprs midi, mais je suis rville trs tard aujourd'hui...)
Mon francais est terrible ce moment...
Las Vegas sound track: Je n'ai jamais visite cette ville, mais je pense que les groupes r&b (ceux du radio, ils sont tous les memes) seront le sound track. (Comment dit-on "would be"? Argh, j'oublie tout.)
Belle photo! kiss
perdurabo:
anything by "diamonda galas"
or...
"the bulgarian womens choir" on a good day.

Las Vegas, tellement vanit autour ici.

so much glamour - that is not attractive to me. flashy. racey. mostly in bad taste.

Vegas est un trou d'enfer!

step away from the stage. back away from the curb in you lincoln lowrider. i'm not interested.

no, i am not.
no. i just said i am not.
yes i speak English asshole. i even used a contraction....

i never really understood vegas.
or people's burning needs to go there.
to each her own, i suppose.

i, too, love the new pic. it reminds me of an album cover from long ago.

kiss
timmy:
Vegas is a place everyone should visit.

To either visit and enjoy it for what it is on the surface.

Or stay and let it try and break you by exploiting whatever vice will give up the most cash.

this hotel, the Mirage, is so over the top. but i like Treasure Island. The Cirque is here!!!

if any of you are in Vegas, come check out Crazy Horse Dance Troupe perform "La Femme" (@MGM). we all look identical... it's fun!

Hello distant cousin!
Have you been long in the US? I sometimes fantasize traveling through Americas... but it's not likely to happen soon.
I wish your stay in Vegas a great success!
mtlqueen:
Merci beaucoup pour le compliment, j'ai peur quelquefois a dire que je parle francais, mais j'ai besoin de la pratique, alors, on va pratiquer maintenant!
Paris est la plus belle ville du monde entier. Mon mari et moi sont restes chez nos amis en ville. Ils ont un "record label"(?) qui s'appelle m-tronic (http://www.m-tronic.com) et ils sont si gentils, et sympathiques, et tres hot. Nous avons pris nos journees seul (parce que nos amis travaillaient), et nous avons fait beaucoup de choses touristiques, et dans la nuit nous avons mange un tres grand repas avec du vin et la conversation...Nos amis viennent du sud (Cannes) et ils veulent que la prochaine visite va etre chez leurs familles au sud! Whoopeee! Je n'ai jamais visite le mer mediterrane, alors je suis tres excitee! Alors, m'excusez mes erreurs grammatiques...Bonne nuit chrie (hey, i just figured out how to do accents, oh well, i'll use them next time)

non, je ne suis pas en classe. mais j'etudie beaucoup.

i'm in the desert. making my way to Vegas. where i will not be spending any money. my cellular phone keeps me connected to you.

have you ever been to Mecca? give me time. it's the hood.

i sense holiday cheer from those decorating their wagons. some Gypsies are Catholic you know. Mother Teresa. Albania....

the Moonflower, or sacred Datura - along with the Ephedra has made my solitude here in the desert worth reflection. it has given me this urge to correspond with others.

they don't have internet access in mental institutions. or do they?

anyway, the coyotes are telling me to dream, they show up there. they lead me to their dens. i sleep in a bat cave...

My weekend is treating me wonderfully, thank you smile And yours?

Your pics are getting more and more *cough* intriguing... *swoon* this one is really to much for my delicate sensibilitys wink It conjures up deep seeded peyote infused deleriums wafting through my inner conciousness. I'm not sure that I could have envisioned such lovelyness all by myself though. kiss

being on the road - watching out for cat eyes, driving by Braille.

if i could only free the giant "two story" elephant. his name, "big bingo", biggest brute that breathes. i would send him home to india. this is a tough business. manure, shoveling, wind blowing sand in my eyes, staticy hair, it gets cold in the desert at night. no clouds to call blankets. at least there are these evenings inside by the woodstove, watching Bonanza...
