Future you

Dear FutureIlan, Yes, you are 25. Yes, I am 15. I wonder firstly if you'll get this. Are you dead? Has your email changed? Has this been marked as spam? I've sent you so many emails that over the next half of your lifetime you will get many a random rambling. But worse, they are all questions about the future. So let me tell you about the present. You have this very year grown...

Greetings from the past

Dear FutureMe, There's something intrinsically weird about this whole thing, but what the heck. Presently you're stuck in the airport waiting for a flight to visit the family. You're anxious because it is the first time you've seen your parents since your sister's funeral. It is the first time you've seen Chris since before the funeral. But I digress. It is easier to write about th...

Do you remember me?

Where Are You Now?

Dear FutureMe, Wow, it really worked! Well your 55 now, are you close to retiring? Did you manage to save the store or did that son of a bitch who took all the money succeed in killing it? I hope you made it happen! Graduating from college was anti-climactic and you didn’t land that awesome job you had hoped for. So you took what you could get. I hope things are better for you now. You sh...

How am I?

Dear FutureMe, So, what am I up to? Am I even alive? If I'm not then I guess I won't be reading this e-mail. Well, at the time of this writing Sirius Satellite Radio is at $5.62/share and gas is averaging $2.32/gallon. I am currently sitting in Training Room 1 at my place of employment, Bright House Networks. I am listening to music on TV channel 415. It is called Retro-active and t...
