Hi, Annie,

Sitting over my morning coffee, ham and eggs, sunny-side up, I keep thinking of you. When I do, I'm on cloud nine, my head's in the clouds, I become misty-eyed, kidding myself I'm a cool cat capable of miracles. But there's a cloud on my happiness and on my brow, too. As the saying goes, one cloud is enough to eclipse the sun. This cloud is my case. I'm still in a fog, and it clouds me up. I badly need some brainstorming, but there's nobody around to help me. David is OK, but he's under a cloud at the moment. I usually can tell when a guy is trying to do a snow job, but I'm not sure about David. I'll have to use my frozen assets and my slush fund to break the ice. Every cloud has a silver lining though. I'll have more time for thinking of you.

Love, 

James
