Hello Jane:<\/p>\n
Have been rather busy lately- days, not nights, my pet.<\/p>\n
Since my return my night work as suffered terribly. Don’t know anybody any more and the gas situation even prevents me from going to Tacoma. Got any gas coupons? If not, sure as hell we will urn out of gas on our date and we will both have to walk home.<\/p>\n
Speaking of gas coupons – there’s no ration on passion because there’s no ceiling of feeling.<\/p>\n
Incidentally, read over your "Maiden’s Prayer" and then let me know if I can be "the man that plays God", as I can think of only one way to answer the prayer.<\/p>\n
[Note: http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maiden’s_Prayer<\/a> A Polish composition that Bob Wills arranged in 1935. Listen to Willie Nelsons version<\/a>. \n <\/p>\n ]<\/p>\n I was going to surprise you some evening in the future and give you a call from L.A. you see, leaves are being allowed and I was planning to go to Los Angeles for my leave but due to a change in headquarters I won’t be able to get it, I guess. Any hoo, it would have been fun.<\/p>\n Did ya hear about the girl in a house of prostitution who, for a Christmas present, only received some advice from the madam? The advice was to impress the girl with the fact that in her business, the customer always comes first.<\/p>\n Thats all – so long.<\/p>\n Good luck<\/p>\n Ted<\/p>\n Capt. T.G. Leske<\/p>\n 633 T.D.
