'And now, the end is near. I've traveled each and every byway ...' in the words of the King. Oh well. Who cares? He was a fat s.h.i.t before he died anyway.

To everyone who's been a good friend of mine and help me cover up the fact that i don't know a f.u.c.king thing--i thank u. And to everyone else, take it easy and hang tough.

i was temporarily insane at the time

See you smart guys at the funny farm.

s.h.i.t man, don't drink and think about things like that. It's not healthy, mentally or physically.

Come to Austin, Texas.

We'll keep you somewhere until we can get something worked out for you.

A year in minimum security (Club Fed) is better then chucking a whole life. h.e.l.l, you're 19!! I have discarded the 'permanent' solution for good. Dead people can't get laid, but people in federal prisons DO get conjugal visits!!!

Think of Theorem.

Call over here at whatever time you read this ... I can see you are really getting worried, so just f.u.c.king call ...

It's happening soon guys.

I wish i could have bought more time. And worked out a deal. But nada. They are nearby now.

I can tell which cars are theirs driving by outside. This is the weirdest case of Deja vu i've ever had.

Anyway got an interesting call today. It was from Eddie, one of the Bell systems computers.

It was rather fantasy like ... Probably just his way of saying 'Goodbye'. Eddie was a good friend, smartest d.a.m.n UNIX box around ...

And he called today to tell me goodbye.

Now i know i'm f.u.c.ked. Thanks, Eddie, it's been real. (whoever you are) 'ok eddie, this one's for you'

Much Later,

Buddy, Par, you are over the edge ... lay off the weed. Not everyone with gla.s.ses and dark suits are Feds. Not all cars with generic hubcaps are government issue.

Well, h.e.l.l, I don't know what the h.e.l.l 'Eddie' is, but that's a real bizarre message you left.

Fly to Austin ... like tomorrow ... got plenty of places to stash you until things can be smoothed out for a calm transition.

(I've been thinking about providing coffee an d doughnuts).- Par Subject: heh, Par From: The Mentor Date: Wed Jan 31 16:37:04 1990 Ummm. I wear sungla.s.ses when it's 11 degrees and cloudy ... so you can eliminate that one. :-)
