Hello Everyone:

Thanks for the advice:

So cosensus is that I write, so as I agree as well, and do not want to have any regrets later in life for not doing so, life is really so very short, I will do so next week some time, I need the courage to do so, I am quite the skeptic.

Okay so I'd like your input on my idea, the following:

It will be both our 40th birthdays, so I also thought that might be a nice reason to write as well. Will put happy upcoming 40th, on the card with our fave artist, say thanks that was so sweet to take the picture of me in the parade, and I'll be in your town, (7 hour drive for me, no I'm not putting that part in:-)) I'd like to have coffee or dinner when I arrive in July. My e-mail and phone number. He doesn't have a computer, but maybe he'll find someone who does, never know.
Now my dilemma, he never gave me his phone # or address, so should I mention looking it up or not.

Thanks again for all your advice I really appreciate it, you can be sure I'll let you know how it goes.
