Birthday Gift

Dear Claudine,

It’s been almost a month since my last correspondence. I apologize for not writing sooner, but March was a busy month. Several people had birthdays in March, including my own, and there was house organizing with a POD, a film festival and super villains that I had to thwart. So you see wonderful Claudine, I had very little time for a pleasant exchange. In the past month my job has become considerably more tolerable, though I hope that I can find something else soon. It’s the part of the movie where the hero learns that his company makes the chemical that turns people into CHUD, but he stays anyway – more afraid of unemployment than conspiring with evil. This is generally considered the best part of the movie… for everyone but the main character. For my birthday I received lots of cool music, including an amazing CD from you’re old A&M label-mate Lani Hall. Her “Brasil Nativo” from 1998 is a hauntingly beautiful release that showcases her warm, clear vocals. If you don’t already have it Claudine, I would highly suggest that you seek it out. The first song “Tres Curumins” made me cry on my way to work – and not just because I was on my way to work.

Hopefully,
Bradley
