| Mary Jane |
With the new
apartment came a new critter in my life. In the past I always had some kind of a
pet, mostly kitties, and a couple puppies, but now I have Mary Jane. She is a cute little black
and white kitty who was left here by a student who went home for the summer. He is letting
me take care of her while he is away. She took right to my and my pad and helps cheer me
up when I am down. Mary Jane is very friendly and well behaved, and loves to go on her
prowl every night. She even brought me home a chipmunk one day, lol. I quickly rescued it.
Go Mary Jane!

| Deanna and Me |
Lately, Deanna has
been my best friend. Her and her boyfriend Chris and I lived together for a
short period and we had some very good times together. I have known Dee since she was very
little, since I worked with her parents at a local factory a few years back. My first memories of
Deanna was when she would go running across the floor yelling "Daddy Daddy Daddy" when
they would come to pick him up at the end of the shift. Being the end of the day, it was always a
cheerful event to look forward to. Since then, her and her friends rediscovered me in their teen
years and my house became the "hang out". We had many good conversations and times back
then. Dee is one of my only friends from those days who has stuck with me and helped me get
through my "cleaning up" period in my life. Now we go shopping together and do our laundry
together and I am always in a happy mood when we are together. Thank You Deanna for being
there for me!

| Robert Moves |
In an effort to
improve his life, Robert has finally moved to a better apartment. After many
years of living where he was, he finally saw fit to move along. Seven years of paying high rent,
and not seeing any of the necessary work being done to the place, he finally had enough. All
the previous landlord did with his money was smoke it up in a cloud of pot. In the mean time
the house still stands, falling apart. All his rent money did was go to waste and Robert had to
live in deplorable conditions for all those years, not to mention in a world of depression as well.
Now he is picking himself up and dusting off the old with a newer and better situation. He is
paying less money and is getting a better apartment that is well taken care of. Robert is
happier already. I think he will do well at his new place. "The Stone Porch House" as it is
referred to, is a house of many college parties, and has a much more cheerful air to it's nature.
He may be woke up, from time to time during the school year, but it will at least be the sounds
of happiness and not the sounds of bitching as was in the old place. He is well deserving of a
more positive environment. Go Robert!

| Cleaning Up the
Hill |
We have done a lot
of work getting the Hill ready again for the students return in the fall. The
previous management had let a lot of things go, and the junk was piling up. We pulled a lot of
old furniture and mattresses out of the storage barns and maintenance closets, there was junk
piled up a mile high behind the barn, and even the office was in a state of chaos. In the course
of time we have managed to get quite a grip on all these challenges, and the Hill is starting to
look really spiffy. Now we can use the barns and closets to our advantage, and all the junk has
been thrown away. I can't understand why the previous people couldn't bring themselves to
doing the work because I am highly motivated because of the apartment I now possess. I
guess some people are just lazy and feel the world owes them. Pan Am has been busy with the
mowing department, and the Hill is looking tip-top now. I think it will be a good summer because
we are all very good workers and care a lot about what we do. I have lived on the Hill off and
on for almost 7 years now, and I simply have an undying love for the place. Campus Hill, our
home.

| Jima's Day in
Morrisville |
Jima came to visit
us one day this week. It has been a while since we have seen her since she
moved out of town last summer to improve her life. She is enjoying life in Chittenango, a town to
our north, and has a new man and a little one on the way. She is very happy now, and enjoyed
her visit to her old friends, Me and Robert. We have all been friends now for almost 5 years, so it
is good to get together to catch up sometimes. Good luck Jima, it was good to see ya again.

I have moved on up
to a better situation for myself. I was offered an apartment back in
my favorite complex here in Morrisville with an opportunity to pay the rent through
helping manage the place. My old friend Sheldon is the manager of the complex and
needs some help squaring things away and keeping order among the natives. So far
we have made a marked improvement on the place, and I have proven myself an asset
to Campus Hill. My reward is a place to myself, and the ability to have all that I own
around me again. I am one more step towards putting the "police action" that occurred
2 years ago, behind me, and one more step towards a better life for myself. It took me a
couple weeks to get everything in order, but I am very happy with my new place and my
new challenge. I still work at the pizza shop a couple nights a week to pay my utilities
and keep myself fed, so I am quite busy keeping up with it all. Life is better for me.

| A Mentor Has
Died |
My old friend and
mentor Mike Deforest has died. He was a great drummer and singer from when I
was in high school. We used to go to as many of their gigs as we could cuz his bands were always
great and the shows inspired our own music. He was 5 years older then I. The tunes I remember the
most were "Highway Star", and "Then Came The Last Days of May". Download them and you may
understand their importance in my life. He would play the drums AND sing the tunes while backed
up by a kick-ass guitar player and a bass player. They were awesome. I am not sure how he died,
but a part of me has died with him. My message to all of you right now, is to keep the faith and
follow your dreams to the fullest, and don't let the drugs take them away from you!
