from River View to 90hazelnut, 20091205

Dear 90hazelnut,

Today is Saturday, and I just returned from a few nights at the Capri on the El Camino. I went with the ying yang from Vermont, 'cause he had his check come in. He didn't leave the room for four days, other than to go to Pollo Loco and back. In the meanwhile, I drove to Mt. Hamilton, as December 2009 is Astronomy month, and I had not been up the mountain for quite a few years. I had a great day up there.

I left came back with the gas gauge on empty: that's a trip crossing 17, no less in my car! I made it. When we checked out of the motel, he was standing by the car. He really didn't say anything in the last four days. Uck him, he can take a bus back to wherever he goes. He wanted me to drive to Santa Barbara when this began, and I figured this would be a good test run, as he claims to be phobic in vehicles. Anyway, when I looked again, he had vanished, saying nothing. I gave it about 3 minutes, and left. That mind game seems to be one thing he does often - vanish without verbalizing - so be it.

I am back in Santa Cruz. I had intended to interview with a truck school in Fremont, but the distraction leaves me waiting until after the Holidays.

Maybe we can connect sometime. Hope you didn't eat too much turkey for Thanksgiving. It seems Santa Cruz is overwhelmed with persons with mental illness, and the visit to Santa Clara made me realize how much I miss being in Santa Clara. I thought of driving by, and figured it wasn't a good choice ... I didn't want to disrupt ... So I guess it's back to the nightly donut shop as usual.

P.S. Were you a good girl last year? Will Santa come to see you? You have been rather quiet over the past several months - and I hope your relationship is growing positively. 'Cause the children come first, Always. That's the compromise in having a family. Anyway, peace and love and all those greetings - and If I don't see you, hugs for all.

Much love and roses, River View Dave
