GETTING READY FOR THE FIRST PARTY OF THE SUMMER

IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE THREW A BASH AT OUR HOUSE. IT SHOULD BE A LOT OF FUN. BUT IT IS UNDER SAD TERMS THOUGH. BRETT, MY LONGTIME FRIEND IS LEAVING US ALL HERE IN NEW YORK AS HE EMBARKS ON THE NEXT CHAPTER OF HIS LIFE. HE HEADS OUT TO CALIFORNIA. HE AND HIS WIFE AND SON WILL BE STARTING A NEW LIFE OUT THERE. I WISH THEM THE BEST. WE NEVER DID GET TO HANG OUT MUCH WHEN HE DID LIVE HERE THESE PAST FEW YEARS. EVERYONE GETS SO BUSY WITH LIFE THAT IT IS HARD TO SEE EACH OTHER AS OFTEN AS WE USED TO. IT WILL BE EVEN HARDER NOW FOR US TO HANG OUT. I AM HOPING THAT AS TIME MOVES FORWARD, WE ARE AFFORDED A LITTLE MORE FINANCIAL SECURITY AND FREEDOM TO VISIT MORE FREQUENTLY. BUT I KNOW FROM A COST AND TIME POINT OF VIEW THAT IT WILL SOMETIME BEFORE WE WILL BE ABLE TO CHILL AGAIN. HOPEFULLY NOT TOO LONG. MISS YOU ALREADY BRO...
