Mitch,

This message is coming to you from the future!  Eighteen years in the future to be precise, the 21st century!!!  I am going back into time to try and tell you something very important.  One day we will live on opposite sides of the globe and you will come to my neighborhood and spend 6 weeks here, not tell em you are coming and then after I find out you are here you will leave without visiting me.  You were like a brother to me.  I am shocked and saddened.  You change friends like you change your underwear.  You forget how long we have been friends and how long we have been there for each other.  

This will be my last transmission Mitch Melassanos (AKA, Mitch Melissinos)....  EOF
