Someone left a Vanity Fair magazine (October 2003) on a table at work.  I picked it up.  I’ve never read it…and I had heard that the articles can be quite titillating and interesting.
I haven’t made it past the editor’s letter. 
He is talking about the same things that come out in Farhenheit 9/11:  the Saudis being [...]

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve written.
There is so much going on right now that I don’t know where to begin.
I got a new camera…and that’s a big thing for me.  It’s beautiful….well, if you’re into cameras.  http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydscf828/  I am learning how to use it and hope to get out sometime soon [...]

I feel like I’m making progress on my degree.
I mean, I felt like I was making progress before but now, I really feel like graduation is so close I can almost taste it.  Next spring…less than a year…finally, I will have my bachelor’s…and on my 20th high school reunion.  Gack!

The phone rings.  I pick it up.  “Hello?”
Heavy breathing.
I look at the caller ID.  It’s someone from my brother’s house.
“Hello,” I say again.
