As you can see, boys, I'm stocking up for the future. I have everything I need now to finish my book. ... . On a related note, I'm starting to come to terms with the loss of my friend Jill, slowly. By no means am I JUST FINE, but I'm not constantly crazy anymore. This is the first big loss in my life. This girl changed things in my life that will continue to affect me for the rest of my days. She was really something.

Peace and Love,
Mungo
