Hey, man!!!  Welcome back. Got your e-mail three days ago and just now satdown to respond. Forgive, forgive. Here's the latest with me.
Okay, this I can live with. I told you about Eric wanting me to "play straight" for his folks when they come for their trip, right? Well...
Eric came home all ready to beg and plead with me to accept the compromise. Butactually, I think it's a good idea.
You know, introduce Mr. and Mrs. Espinoza gradually to the fact that their son is a giant, sexy homosexual!!!  
No, seriously, I do think it's the best way. And what the hell, she probably has somegreat authentic Portuguese recipes. I could use them when I open my own catering  company.
Which is my new plan!!!  
I'm quitting Royal Catering and opening a new company. I've been speaking tosome of the clients at Royal and they think it's a great idea. I've also started going  over my list of celebs I've met that might be interested in investing in a newcompany.
It's a short list but what the hell, it's a start.
This is definitely a long way off, but God it's a start. Something better than workingfor someone else. And look at what happened to the Silver Palate babes. They'reset for life.
Mark Fitzgerald (you remember him, right?) seems to think we can avoid going tocourt.  He's been speaking to the lawyer for Royal and I could get a nice settlement.
Now --
Enough about me -- WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO LA???
That's great!
Will we finally meet?
Your last gif you sent was spellbinding, to say the least. I had no idea you were solimber, darlin'!
Let me know the dates, we do have to meet.  Don't you think?
I'll show you the sights, far and wide.
Bad Drew.
