Afternoon, Tara,

         It's Carly Mihalakis, we knew each other at the CCB some 
years ago. We recently spoke, though, at the convention--somebody had 
a phone and they called. was it Sunny? Anyway, how the hell are ya, 
Tara? I live in Berkeley, California.
It might be fun to wrap a little. Don't ya think?
