i have almost finished a letter to a number of individuals who i should keep in touch with.

Exclusive Excerpt from Alex's Letter. . .

After five days of working in the deli at the local supermarket Hannaford Bros, my apron is hard because of all the meat juice and liquid solution that spills out when rip open the plastic package. The pieces of meat are enormous even the ones that are supposedly "all natural" and come from one animal. Any turkey that has a 20 pound breast is not "natural." There is nothing worse than opening a heavy, 30 pound rectangle of pure processed pink boiled ham and having the refrigerated brownish water spill on to you and down your plastic gloves. I have also learned the following things about people and their deli meat:
<><><>1.People are awfully particular about sandwich meat and cheese (especially if it is macaroni and cheese loaf).
<><><>2. People will spend $12 on liverwurst for their dog.
I could go into particulars but that pretty much sums it up.

The profound moral perversity of a world that rests essentially on the non-existence of return, for in this world everything is pardoned in advance and therefore everything cynically permitted.

Tonight my roommates and i heard about a friend, who, upon his 18th birthday received $26,000 settlement check from a car accident from when he was 2. His first major purchase was a fifteen year-old Winnebago for under $5,000. We all agreed a Winnebago for that price is a wise investment and the conversation quickly turned to the typical “what would you do with $26,000?” (With the obvious rule that unacceptable answers are "saving" or "college" or "commodities" etc.) I suggested I would take about 75% of the money and buy a bunch of airplane ticket refundable vouchers which would allow for spontaneous trips for the next ten years.
