Letters from the Inside, Michael Swango, #42

[Ed.: I am now omitting things in his letters that are mundane, like excessive talk of movies or tv when in no greater context.]
Dear KK---

Ahhh...the lives and loves of of Kelly K!!! Who says "it" can't happen, with your Story Slam/guy/major crush? Maybe it can't happen TODAY, but let's look at the evidence you presented:

>Common interest. Story Slam
>Mary LIKES Billy! "major crush"
>He says he has "fallen for Mary"
>You two live a few blocks away--always good for late night interaction...

KK: I did see the romantic comedy "He's Just Not That Into You" At times very clever with some good scenes. Your situation brings it to mind.

>AND you & he are doing all the requisite electronic communicating...

Hey, I've been "out of the game" for a while, but even I know as a man that this guy is not living with his soulmate at the present time.

It can happen--probably will happen with patience--just not now...

I've got no dog in this fight but I do know you are brilliant, funny, lovely, very sexy, and more. Your my dear, are a catch, period. Like I said, wish I had met you around 1993...C'est la vie...

Unfortunately so many men are dogs/and you've been burned like everyone else...But it will happen, Kelly. I'm sure of it.

However, one place we would not have gone is a gourmet Mexican restaurant---where you were last Saturday. Unless they served other entrees! Almost any other restaurant...

You are a true gourmand & gourmet cook.

VERY much hope you are not getting another upper resp. infection or flu. The word still is they expect swine flu & seasonal flu to hit hard beginning in a week or so when everyone is back at school & work.

Your blog "Such an Odd Coincidence" was interesting on many levels--to me the idea that the same event can be seen and/or experienced so differently by two people, in this case yourself and Alan Streets.

And as usual, it made me think--as most everything you write does...in this case about the subject of coincidences and the "Laws of Large Numbers", a truly fascinating mathematical concept integral to game theory. Writing to you and receiving your letters is a true education.

You take care--stay healthy--and hope to receive your next letter very soon.

Yours,

Michael
