hey, pal!
well. at least she's an improvement. she doesn't crack gum in your face. that's what you get when your partner does the hiring and firing.
hold, hold it. wait a minute. that's not the problem. where are you?
i've been losing you these days.
that's okay. that's okay. you off the track?
come on. i've known you for twenty years. you think i can't tell when something's wrong? how's connie?
look, i am sorry, it's none of my business, but i think you worry too much. you've been on the rack about him long enough. you're making it a habit. you've gotta let him go sometime.
the thing about it is, in a year he'll be gone. off to michigan or harvard or wherever in the hell he gets it in his head he wants to go. maybe he'll decide to take a tour of europe for a year and not even go to school at all. who knows?
i'm just try giving you the benefit of my experience.
with valerie, it's more than her living away from home.  she's gone. got her own friends, her own life. she breezes in . for a couple of days on vacations, but.  i don't know, maybe girls are different. or maybe she was too aware of what was happening between nance and me. but they leave.  and all that worrying doesn't amount to a hill of crap. it's just wasted energy.
