Dear Ira,

Long time no talk, eh? Things have quieted down here. My fiance is working, I am working. Things are just chugging along.

Someone recently said that if they could sum up life, they would describe it as a game of Monopoly. Some days you win free parking, some days you go to jail, but most of the time, you are just working your way around the board.

That being said, I hate the game of Monopoly. Why would anyone want to play that game? I never understood that.”Hey kids! It’s the game of commerce! Except you have to buy property and not anything cool that a normal 8 year old would want to buy! Gee whiz it sounds like fun!”

In other news, I have been asked to speak to a high school class about my career choice. What should I say, Ira? “Hey kids, did you know that getting a book published is good for the prestige, but otherwise, don’t expect to get paid a whole heck of a lot. Definitely not enough for coke and hookers for the next year, let alone the rest of your life.”

Ok, maybe I should leave out the coke. Parents don’t like their childrens’ speakers to talk about coke. I think.

Pondering the street value of narcotics,
