Tuesday, Sept 4

Dear David,

I’m sitting here at work doing absolutely nothing but thinking of you. It’s always wonderful hearing from you but it makes me sad that you are feeling blue. Sometimes the weather has a lot to do with it. The end of summer can be a melancholy time of year.

I just tried to phone you to see if the sun ever came out and if your head was any better. I figured you went with Ralph & the gang - I’m sure they tried to cheer you up.

I was thinking… how about if I meet you in Davis & we drive to San Francisco, spend some time there & then drive down the coast thru Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and then to Los Angeles. It’s about 13 hours of driving time. It’s supposed to be beautiful this time of year & it would be nice to share it with you. It’s just a thought…

Regarding Christmas plans, I would like to arrive in Toronto on Friday afternoon, Dec. 21st. That means missing one day of work that week but I want to spend the whole weekend with you & if I don’t leave until Saturday a.m. then half of our weekend is gone.

I’m thinking warm and funny thoughts of you and missing you.

Love,
Joanna
