Subj: THE BOOK IS ON ITS WAY...
Rick: I finally sent your package off this morning. I hope you like it. Maybe you can find some little shavers to read it with. I have been busy finishing my current project, a new book abut Russia. I had to edit down from 20,000 slides. It is due in New York Tuesday morning at the latest, so this will be HELL WEEKEND. But, I suppose, it is better than being bored. It has been my fulltime project for about two months (not counting the three months I lived over there, taking notes and shooting photos). When I am done, I am going to drive up north of Fairbanks, about 700 miles from here(!!!) to a little Eskimo hot springs not too many people know about and decompress for a few days. After that, who knows. I may leave the state. Hell, I may go to Viet Nam. I have an idea for a book there. Or maybe the high country of the Japanese Alps. I won't be young, single AND goodlooking forever, you know.... Yikes. I need a reality check. It is 1:30 am. I think I am hallucinating again. If I do drive out of the state, I have a lot of friends to visit in California, and some family too. Maybe I will drop by for tea when I sweep through. Where is Pleasant Hill, anyway? Okay, back to work for me. the floor is COVERED with plastic pages full of slides and I am trying to winnow it down even closer to the final cut: 70 pictures or so out of 20,000. Hmmm... I hope you are well and staying rested and relaxed. --Russ
