Hi Brian,

	You *lost* my number????? How dare you, wait, hmmmm, I forgot yours
too......oh well. I'm glad you liked the movie, I've actually heard that
despite the awful concept, the movie (I shrunk the kids..) is pretty good.
I've been meaning to see it for a while, but just haven't been....mostly 
since I don't like seeing movies alone, and I just haven't had an opportunity
to see it with anyone. Joe said he had a good time, and that it was a lot of
fun.

	Anyway, the scoop, the story, the latest.......well, he sent me an 
e-mail letter this afternoon which basically boiled down to, I think you're
neat, but I don't want to rush into anything....let's get to know each other 
and be friends and take it from there and we'll talk later. So we talked about
it at the meeting (which is why we were out in the hallway for so long) and I
basically said, I agreed, since I do, and I told him that to be honest I 
thought he was very attractive, really nice, and wouldn't *at all* mind if 
something more happened, and he said that was great. Basically it boils down
to, we're going to just see what happens. We are in fact having dinner and 
seeing Dead Poets Society next Friday night! So we'll be doing things and 
sort of seeing each other and such, and then we'll see what happens. I'm rather
happy with the situation, he's made it quite clear that he's not saying no to
a relationship and there's definitely distinct possibilities. Besides I really
do want to be good friends, and get to know him better. That's it in a nutshell
I guess. So, life ain't so bad......:-)

	Good luck parachuting.......like I said, when I get a job and have 
money I'll let you talk me into trying it.....

	Oh well, that's about it for now.....maybe we could do something this
weekend, or on Monday night or something.....give me a call. Oh yeah, my phone
number would help....

	I have an answering machine, so if I'm not home, you can leave a 
message, which I'll get reasonably soon thereafter.....
