LOL Roxie lmao I kNEW you would get the Jersey line. I really like you guys. Rex is brilliant to have found you. I have nothing but admiration for him and I always talk about him as one of those classic golden boys that always get what they want. I mean your a beautiful woman a Banker and a wonderful mom. It doesn't get better than that for a guy. WE MEN SALUTE YOUR REX! ROME HAILS YOU AS APOLLO! Am coming home Roxie. I woke up today after a 5 hour nap looked out the window and I had 7 people waiting to start following me around town. It was like a joke man. Guess I blew it here am on the dreaded radar. Besides I miss the usa awfully bad. Its like people in Europe gave up on business and the go get em attitude. I mean you know how NYC you cant be there a minute without getting in the spirit of making something happen. I have always considered profit as a vindication of your spirit. Here it in Europe that ideal left long ago. Theres no Dream here? Example when Bank of America hit 18 bucks I went and bet the farm on it. I unloaded last Thursday and made out like a bandit. I was so happy when I braged about it to a hottie at dinner she was like I might have as well bought 3 cows for the excitement she displayed. Its not bout the money its that you studied looked at the risk and took the plunge. She didn't get it.
Its ok I met the Pope and all his well within my soul. I always used to think of myself as old at 47. After seeing what old really is and how men 20 years older than me look here and handle themselves I feel like a kid again. What I guess I needed was to be fawned over by women half my age. For a guy its a important thing of course you or Rex wouldn't understand, your living the dream. Slugs like me have to go where the ego takes you its the only thing we have left lmao. The people I let have my house don't want it. The shelter notified my lawyer they want out bad. See when i originally decided to move to euro forever I figured Fred would stay behind. That didn't work out. So that means all my enemies that still fight me ended up going to the house or as I call it "my house of pain" to finish me. You can imagine how they felt when they saw all these people living there. Theres also been some home invasions there as people came looking for me with malice in their hearts and instead found these poor folks instead. So I have to go back and cut these loose ends out of my life and bring order. sorry for taking up comment space just woke up and epresso is the real thing here lmao. Bye Doll1 p.s. you know I always vote for you :)
