How are things in Rhode Island? I grew up in Providence, near Smith Hill, later in Fruithill. I left in 1976 at the age 14. Is the Providence River still that sickly green color? Has city hall been raided by the recently? Have you been down in Newport recently? How about those Cliff Walk houses, aren’t they cool? Well I hpe things are good for you and your family. Take care.

Give me a call sometime, OK?🙂

[spoiler]This has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the winning ticket for the $336 million Powerball Jack Pot was sold in Newport, RI.  
I am offended that anyone would think that.

However, I do need a new computer. I have my eye on an AlienWare model. Just saying.[/spoiler]

This is TriPolar’s personal secretary. He’s busy putting a down payment on a yacht right now. You will be the next person on the list of people who have contacted him in the past 48 hours. Please hold, your wait time is estimated at 336,000,000 minutes.

Yeah, I wish. The river looks pretty good these days though. Not much else has changed. My buddy lives right off Fruit Hill road. I’d guess that area hasn’t changed that much since you left. Maybe someone else you know in Row Diland won the lottery. I’m sure I know someone you know through only 1 degree of seperation.

I could swear I stated yesterday I’m in love with TriPolar. But he hasn’t noticed me.  
I don’t know how I’m gonna cope with this…

Eh. Plus I caught cold…  
Poor poor me.  
Poor

Poor me.

Uh, yeah, but in that context you can see the impossibility of us dating.
