(to be read in the voice of a lonely African American man; age 35-48)

Dear Moms,  Hello.  How are things there?  I miss home, but I am getting by just fine here in Portland.  You kicking me out was the best thing that has happened to me.  I got a job at Ross.  On my days off I am a performer.  I had a girlfriend, but she left me.  I am really focusing on my performances.  I think I am finding my voice creatively ma.  I created a character that is kind of like me only he is a robot-man made of metal and plastics and not a real man like me.  He is an angry robot-man that walks around and yells at people right in their faces because they are different.  But then my character discovers everyone is different and it would be a waste of batteries to continue to use 'yelling mode'.  The only way for him to recharge his batteries is to juggle.  Well, I am saving money to come home for Dede's birthday.  I miss you all.  Say "hi" to Rodney for me.

Peace,

La'Ronzo
