Alex, my dearest friend,
It was cold today. Nothing beats the Tahiti heat does it? I'm sad to see you go old friend, are these still your plans? I apologize for my late response, I always seem to get caught up in things and lately, yes, it has been business. I'm looking for a new partner to start a second venture with. I have this idea for a new type of glue: it sticks anything together and only for as long as you need it. You simply apply heat and the fuse is broken and (here's the ticket) you can reuse the glued items for something else! Genius right? I've been meaning to get on the "Go Green" band wagon for a while and this is my chance!
Alex, can I tell you a secret? I have no idea what I'm doing...I take these ideas and make money with them, but I can never settle on just one project? It's always dabble in this and dabble in that...I'd like to settle on just one industry but nothing ever seems to fit right you know? Something I could work at for 30 years or so and then just hand off to the grandkids for safe keeping...advice?

Arty,
I have to apologize for not sending you that last letter dated from November 2010 until well, now. You've probably wondered what in the world has happened to me since then...and would appreciate an explanation for such a late reply; I mean it's been over a year!
To begin with, I've left the farm for now. "T-shirt Factory" got a little out of hand and needed my up close and personal attention; so I moved to Alabama to manage the design team myself. We've come up with a lot of great ideas for the upcoming youth trends for a few spring collections; now it's just up to Mother Nature to get a move-on with winter. Once the spring line gets rolling, I think I've found a suitable replacement to manage the ship while I'm gone. I won't be back to the farm at that point either though.
Nope, Arthur, my friend, I've decided to take a hiatus much like your trip to Tahiti I think-which I'm so glad went well for you. I'm not sure where I'll be going yet but it'll be for at least 18 months. That's right, a whole year and one half. It's going to do me good, of this I am sure. But now onto you:
How has your year been my good friend? Any new pets? Social climbing investors to cope with? Everyone wants a piece of the pie don't they? What with your good ideas and all. I remember back in grade school when we used to sell sugar cube house sculptures to the geometry club kids. Hahaha. What fun. A pretty penny for a sparkly delight! Oh one second, I think Harold wants in...(He's my German Shepherd/Akita mix. Big dog with a big heart.) Yep he'd just finished his afternoon stroll with the walk-o-meter. Anyhow, I better let you go old buddy, but you better write back soon; I won't be taking my hiatus yet. This time I'll warn you before I'm gone.
Keepin' it real

Hey Brotha!
So good to read your voice again. Oh the farm's just been a side job I've found; been a good experience too, you know, picking strawberries, and pulling onions right from the ground. Over the off seasons I fix up the barn and do random chores. Of course it's more for spending money than anything, what with the t-shirt business booming. As for love, you might as well ignore that comment. I have nothing more to say...

Alex,
Thanks man for the letters. The trip was pretty fantastic. I saw the blue sky everyday and climbed a palm tree or two. I'd like to become a real surfer, but I really need to improve on my swimming. It's true, Utah drivers do seem to speed, but at least they're fearless. Haha. And yes, basketball players are REALLY tall. Wanna tell me more about this contemplation on love?-oooo... Or the friends on the farm? Since when have you been on a farm?
As far as peace goes, Tahiti was very peaceful. In fact, I feel practically like a new person since then. I don't know, there's just something about taking a moment to sit back, relax and think about life, to get it all back into balance you know? That must have been what Tahiti was all about for me. A moment to sink back and soak it all in, then digest the pieces?, how about rather let them settle within me and then rearranging into something different, something better. Oh the word "thing" is so vague really. Hrrmph. In short, I'm a new man. Tahiti changed me, and I'm excited to move forward. It's the first time that I've felt free since the accident.
What have you been up to lately? Really, we should do lunch.
Free At Last

Dear Arthur,
I can't wait till you get back! There is so much to tell you about life and the pursuit of happiness. I've learned so much lately and made so many good friends here on the farm. Sometimes you just have to step out a little bit from your shell and be bold. Ask questions, and never be afraid of looking stupid, because seriously? Who cares? I love raindrops. I hope it rains soon.
Your Friend,
Alex
