I haven't been writing every night lately. Yesterday, late afternoon, I went to the Haynes', spent the night. Lisa and I went shopping today and yes I did splurge a little. I know I really should not have but I did. I know you and I know what would have been said to me, for making that statement.          Strange, how such things as being on the escalator makes me thing so strongly of you, Ben Miller. I know you and I were never on an escalator together very many times. You were missed more than ever today as I rode the escalator. Probably because you are never far from my thoughts.           It is getting late and I want to get a good night's sleep so I will say I miss you and I love you.........BILL-EE
