[HANASHIR:9776] Re: Releasing new book tonight in Laguna Beach

[Shira Kline <shirlalala...>]

Hey beautiful Rick!!!!
How are you my friend?  I just got back from an absolutely perfect summer in
Italy ( I was supposed to go to Ireland, but said to hell with it and stayed in
Italy)  I was working on a farm, I learned tons of Italian and pretty much had
the best time ever.  Life is kind of weird back here, I'm not too psyched to be
getting back to work, but I guess that is what I do.  How they hell are you?
And congratulations on your new book!
My life is such a whirlwind these days, i don't exactly know what else to share
about myself, but I just wanted to send my love and I would be so happy to hear
about how you're doing.  I hope to be in your side of the country sometime this
year.  Its really time and I think I can make it happen.  Maybe in the spring,
so don't go nowhere.
All my love, Shira
