Hi Babe:
I'm so glad you had a good time with your mother. And, that you made the best of the weather. Most of all, thanks for sharing with me about Michael trying to get into UPS. I was almost going to tell you the name of my supervisor I had when I worked for them, but quickly realized after 30 plus years, he probably doesn't work there anymore. Besides, I will never forget the story about drivers getting fired if they have an accident. No, I won't go there. I'm sure, Artie can put in a good word for him. John must be pulling for Vice President if he keeps going like he is. Good for him too.
As for Mrs Vulcano, I will tell you we started talking and she asked me if I was married. I said no. But, she came back quickly telling me there is someone very close to me. I said, yes, but you did not live with me. She mentioned that was a situation happening for a long time now. I told her we were separated for the last 5 years, but she said, no, before that. I told her we lived apart when I was in NY. Then she said, you lived with three kids. I said, no, she has two. She said, no, there are three, 2 boys and a girl, living with her. I thought about it, and came to the conclusion: John, Mike, and Dukey! Scary. She stated, the kids were older and they should not be living at home anymore. But you would be lost in your life if they were not with you. She believes you should live your own life and to seek your own happiness. Later in the conversation, she told me I loved your cooking, but I was not as fat, when I ate your food. That is true! Then, she said for me not to wait for you. That you were dating. I told her, I did not care, and proceeded to tell her about the movie, The Notebook, and that was what I expected out of my life. That someday you would need me, and I could be there for you. This goes right in hand with a quote from my Psycho he told me a while ago:
"When confronted with bad news, (like a death of a loved one, etc.) a person can deal with the issue, and in time the wound will heal, and life goes on. However, when presented with a situation in which there is HOPE, hope is paralyzing forever. Hope is a most powerful emotion."
This is what I live with every day. Hoping I could be with you. Hoping you will need me. Hoping you will love me again.

Hi, Just read your email. I liked your stories about the sweet people you meet along the way in your work and how they seem to inspire you. You sound like your enjoying working and getting out of the house to visit clients again. How can it be bad when the sun is shining and the weather is warm...well, maybe HOT! The psychic must have been interesting. You have to email me with what she spoke to you about and what she could sense from your past. I definitely believe some people have a sort of sixth sense and can somehow feel things about others.
The BBQ was all set and everything was going to be good. The food, kids, house and company were all ready.......and then the stupid weather didn't cooperate. It was very chilly, overcast and rainy....that blows!!...Johnny managed to get the BBQ-ing done and we all ate in the living room and kitchen. It really turned out nice. My mother looked great. I am happy to see that she looks better each time I see her. Not tired and old-looking at all. She mentioned talking to you about Genovese and Ma. I hope they're doing better. The boys were so happy to see her and she was loving being with them. Of course Dukey had more than a few pieces of hot dog and hamburger as well as beans (which proved delightful that night when she slept with me on the bed). The weather has been off and on sunny...followed by some rainy, cool days. The nights are still a bit chill, but hopefully, the warm weather is coming.
Michael is hoping to get into working at UPS soon. He's trying to get a driver's position. Artie told us UPS was going to be hiring a lot of new driver's. Even though Michael really loves the Post Office, he's still not getting any health benefits or pension because they froze the test for permanent employment right after he was hired. He's been asking the head of the Union when the test will be made available again, but the rep has no real answer right now. Unfortunately, there are so many rumors going around about the USPS that nobody wants to commit to any future tests. He wants to move forward, so I'm hoping the UPS job happens.
John is in Maryland for about 2 weeks. They called a few of the Geico shops in NY and asked for Adjusters to be sent there for help with claims after a big storm they had. The workload was huge and the shops in Maryland need help. John found out last Thursday night around 9:00 pm and was on the road at 10:00 PM. He drove straight through to Maryland and arrived in the middle of the night. He like that kind of adventure. Talk to you soon. Thanks again for the nice stories.

Hi Babe
First, how was your BBQ? How did you find your mother? Please tell me how things went.
I have a few stories to share with you. In the past month, there is a Mr Ray Glenn, 81, who wanted a Reverse Mortgage. Made an appointment to meet him and his wife at a Wells Fargo branch, but she called at the last minute and said she was having problems dressing her husband. We canceled and rescheduled, but for me to go to their home. When I met them, I found out the real reason. Ray has a bladder problem and he pees every five minutes. The problem does not stop there. Sometimes he does not make it to the bathroom, and he goes in his pants. Three times while I was there. Feel bad for him, after 32 years in the Air Force.
Another one is Walter and Bernadette Bliss. He is 83 and lives in a beautiful house on top of a hill overlooking a mountain. Gorgeous view. Anyway, he has all kinds of medical problems and wanted to secure the house with a Reverse Mortgage for his wife in case of his death. We talked for over two hours, and share many stories of life. It happens they lived in Westbury, NY. Of course we talked about Long Island and that gave me instant credibility. By the end of the two hours we were exchanging pictures of his family, and, yes, I showed him your pictures. Well, actually the new Capitol credit card I have with your picture on it. He mentioned I wanted to keep you for "posterity" by putting your picture on the card. If you ever want a copy of it, ask me, I have the approval letter from Capitol I can send you so you can see what I'm carrying around.
The third one is Brendas Vulcano. That's her real name. She is 82 and feisty, but wants to pay off her mortgage in full with the reverse mortgage. She was talking to me and asking questions about my life, and telling me a lot of things which she could not know about me. Anyway, some of the stuff she told me was about you and me. Very personal stuff, and it was getting me a bit uncomfortable, so I asked her how she knew about this, and she said she was a psychic. I have never been to a psychic, but I thought it was like a fortune teller. It isn't. She actually said things about the past and that leads her to tell of what may happen in the future. Scary!
One more thing. The other day I was in the car, and the car in front of me had a Nevada license plate that read "SPLANGL". Remember we thought of that name for your car. It was supposed to be for Special Angel, but it didn't make too much sense when spelled out like that. Someone here feel about their girl, like I did about you.
Okay, one last thing. The manager I have at work is retiring next month, she is in her 70's and has had enough. We were talking the other day (about you), and I told her the story of how we met in 1992 at the PTA convention. And, remember the lady who was PTA President at that time who told us to turn around and say hello. Well, it just happens my manager knows this woman Ann Lynch, since she too was PTA president many years ago. I am hoping my manager can put me in touch with Ann Lynch, because I would love to thank her and tell her how much she changed my life.
I still look at my email each day hoping to see one from you, so please write whenever you can. Even if you don't say anything personal. I'm beginning to accept how you feel, but you are still a part of my life.
