I know I said I'd call but...

I'm so sorry it's been so long. Sweet Jesus, Mary, and the other chap, have I been busy! Anyway you'll be pleased to know I have another interview in the pipeline as soon as I get chance. In the meantime I received a lovely email today from a great guy and his daughter whom I met a couple of years ago in Thailand for Christmas. I've blanked all the names but it's such a bitter sweet mesage I felt compelled to share it. It simulataneously made me warm and fluffy and yet quite nostalgic and sad for the life I once led and the sad corporate whore I now am. Anyway, it's nice to know I touched someone once (without going to court):

"...and I hope your travel days are not over, and you have more planned. **** and I enjoyed your company immensely...I hope that the future brings us together again....You are a great guy Dave Thomas...you showed us what it's like to be a free spirit, without trying to do so, and how to live life to its fullest...I will write to you more in the future, and I do thank you for keeping in touch with me...take care of yourself, Dave...your friend *****"
