Hi Frances and John:

Thank you kindly for the input I truly appeciate it.

Okay, I agree with you, indeed, and perhaps too formal.
So I am going to take your suggestion.
Too bad he doesn't have e-mail, or a computer for that matter.
He beter get with the new millennium:-)

As far as the content of the letter, I think i should leave out the details and just make it breezy, as you suggest, just to the point!

Okay a few things that put another perspective on this situation that I found out yesterday from my dear friend Jer who was with me at said concert where old friend approached me first:

My memory must be getting foggy, or I forgot this stuff:

Jer told me that my old friend flat out invited himself to my house here when he would arrive here in my town, said he was pretty direct about it, and that I was kind of taken back by it. Wow, I still don't remember that, but anyhow wasn't that pretty forward of him?? We were in his town but he didn't ask us to come over to his house, but anyhow, I would never ever invite myself to someone's house, guess I respect other peoples privacy and space. I think if I were alone he would have invited me over though, were it not for me being with Jer.
Okay the other thing Jer told me that boggles me is that
I told him I was with Jer for 10 years (as a friend!!!) but I don't know if it came across like that?? Jer and I are good buds so it would look like we are very close.
What I do remember is talking about all our old school days and how he introduced me to this particular artists music and how we had many conversations back then, and how coincidental it was that we ran into each other a few times after that. We talked, as he did, so much so, that he was keeping me from seeing the show which was just starting, I said, gotta go now. This is coming back to me now. I also turned around as we approached our exit, and caught him checking me out.
So what do you think of him showing up at that parade, out of the blue, taking my picture, and a huge hug after explaining all this??
Also if he did think I was with someone that long, did he have nerve inviting himself over, and coming to parade? Or does he still think he has a chance?
Now this puts a whole different spin on things.

I was going to change the letter a bit and send it and get it over with once and for all, but now I am a little perplexed as to what to do.
Any ideas folks??

Qutie confused at the moment.

BTW, Frances, love the Brighteyes!

Love,
Sadeyedlady,
Brighteyes!
