First was the long, unrevealing, inappropriately jovial and sadly frivolous letter you left on our bed. Since then you have remained largely silent except for a few brief, random, seemingly angry, and somewhat offensive emails. The intentions behind your messages remain a mystery to me as they communicate so little. I will, however, give you the benefit of doubt and assume the intentions are good. It would be more helpful if you could try to express yourself and explore the depth of your emotions in something longer than 3 sentences. I would warmly welcome any continued communications with you. I went to see my favorite singer last night — Gretchen Parlato. The song Still (I still love) she wrote and performs with her guitarist Alan Hampton perfectly captures my feelings regarding you.. Gretchen Parlato ft. Alan Hampton - Still Yes, I leave soon for Mexico then straight to Vietnam. I am (can you believe it? I can't...) closing on my condo in Austin on Monday. When I return from to the States I'll come to NYC to collect some of my things from storage and art galleries to bring down. It's a large loft and I want to create a live music performance space. I've wanted a place like this for years so happy I'll have it. Recenity friends put me in touch with a huge music comminuity in Austin. I'm going to join the Austin Guitar Society which is very active in brining in musicians from all over the world. And as you know... my other love is horses. Just outside of town there are so many places specializing in different riding styles — of course polo, but also dressage (like the boring lesson you watched in NJ, I was very grateful for you being so patient), and something called `reigning and cutting' which is a fun Western style based on cattle ranch work. EFTA_R1_00403051 EFTA01942877 I'm told that I'll also be I Sminute drive from archery ranges, rock-climbing cliffs, and much more. (Including good Vietnamese restaurants with very generous portions! Again, as you know...) I might keep the place in NYC or get something a bit smaller. I don't know. But now with Humberto and Lila living here part time I do want to be in NYC often. They are some of my closest friends and know the most interesting people — we went out last week with Lila's friend the former princess of Iran (and also because of Shah's family bloodline she is also a princess of Egypt) living in exile in NYC. As it turns out, she is a hilariously funny woman and a proud lesbian with the same partner for over 20 years. We've all planned a trip together to India in October (they actually already bought the tickets!) to hear a live music concert in the desert of Rajasthan. Diksha will be there with her boyfriend along with another of Diksha's friends who I've become close with here in NYC. So... I say all this because these are the kind of people you really only meet in NYC. Alright... obviously I miss speaking with you!!!! If you read this far you must be very tired. Maybe I can understand now why you needed a break from me! Haha So, for work. Education is company going well. Just finishing our first fund raising. Now I need to focus on building my own thing. I have a few ideas that all revolved around my prior experience and training. I've got three impressive potential partners who I bounce ideas around with. Once I get back in the States next year I'll ramp this up significantly. I've been in somewhat of a coma over the past few years and now finally feel awake again. And I quite literally mean awake. I don't know if it's because I'm excited or anxious but I can rarely sleep more than 4 hrs a night since you left. (But maybe keeping this busy protects me from the pain of missing you.) Ok. Now I'm even boring myself. Take good care and know that to me you are family.
