Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Hi Everyone! The following is my response to a letter I received yesterday on another list. It occurred to me that perhaps you, who are my oldest buddies on the internet, might enjoy it as well. Please let me know, because someone on the other list prompted me to write another one today, if you would like me to post that one here too.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Dear Kheyala: Thanks, I enjoyed reading about your future glimpses. Did you get the cabin? Are you going to write a screenplay with a heroine who kicks prescient butt? I have a close friend who used to tell me about a recurring dream he had about being on a wagon train headed west in the 1800's. Each dream was a little bit further down the trail and a new adventure. Post the other one!!
