Battening Down

The first bands from Hurricane Rita have just arrived. Many businesses have already closed on Ocean Drive, but I instructed the managers to stay open as long as possible. Police showed up a few minutes ago to make sure everything was off the sidewalks; they got an eyeful with the huge crowd of men in the bar making out. Ah, life goes on after all. Brian and Jesse have been here since eleven this morning; they are putting in full shifts, Brian says. Ditmar showed up with his maid to host the official hurricane party. It was during the last hurricane that the person now working behind the bar and I fucked all weekend. Maudlin? No, Ed.

Alexis,

Take care of yourself, and remember that when YOU are the inspiration to so many people, and it's natural to have ups and downs. Things will pick up very soon and you'll have a refreshed outlook on life. I wish I was there to share a sulky Orvieto and stuff dollar bills in strippers pants. That always put us in a better mood. I miss you terribly and you have been in my thoughts often recently.

Love always,

Jake
