Hey Ju, soooo COVID-19 virus >:(

Yep, just like old times NEVER wrote a play before, so I took a shot at it. This is pretty good stuff, I'll close it with some hard facts and will be done with it in a few dots. Some kind soul just sent me a pretty cool book by, Jericho Brown titled; the tradition, I'll read it on my birthday the 20th, it also came with a $100.00 wine voucher. I don't drink and they don't allow that here anyway. This book came from the U.k. I don't have penpals, so maybe it was someone who read my blog? Because this author seems like he is Black? I normally don't read others poetry or books unless you send a book, I'll give it a sniffing.

I miss being in love. I respect the "crowded closet" because it saved so many lives, but it's hard for a gay black man out here in the open.

My attorney said he found another attorney for my situation here, so that's great, can't wait to get it cracked.

Thanks for the transcription please do another one, I want to do a very focused zine issue for the start of 2021, and these last few post will create a really strong read, thanks for liking the play, I still have found no place to land, a lot of us haven't so we'll just need to create our own place to land.

Hello dear Xzyzst,
so it's 20th today, and if I read your lovely handwriting right, it's your birthday, hieperdepiep... hurray! hurray! hurray! (that was the Dutch way).
That book was me. I had Jericho Brown on my radar for some time, and now he also won the Pulitzer. He is black, gay and Hiv-positive, and a lovely presence.
I am really happy to have your news (of 13 july, at least...)! Life is okay over here.
Big big hug, x Ju
