Beam and Howard

Entry 28:

Hey Beam,

As you know, it is somewhat time-consuming to close a house, so there was some delay between my hoped for departure and my actual. As I run to the car, though, a few responses to you.

One, I am mad for Kevin White. He is so much smarter than most people understand, and his political stories are the best. Plus, he calls me "Kid," making me feel like we're both in an old movie.

As for breast implants, I have none, so we can't engage there. As for almas mater, Yale has you, Maynard, and Buckley. As you correctly pointed out, Brandeis has a ton, too numerous to mention here...

Now I'm really hitting the road.

xx Margo
