 Bart & Will,

This is Gary for a change. Ted is going to be 21 on July 16th (it's a
Friday), and I am going to throw him a SURPRISE party, so if he
finds out from either of you - consider immigrating to Australia, I
understand the climate is excellent for YOUR health.

Enough of the fun and games.

But I really want to do something special for Ted, he doesn't talk
about it, but he misses his family very much, particularly Will and
Jenny. I am therefore formally inviting you two to be there for him.
I will help in absolutely anyway to get you here. You obviously can't
tell Will's mom & dad. They know about me, in fact, it was Ted telling
them that started this whole mess. He loves me, and wanted to let
the world know he wasn't ashamed of his love for me.  He has been
thru his own private hell when he should have been celebrating with
his family. But he doesn't complain, he tries to be so fucking stoic,
holding it all in. It doesn't help, either, that my parents know and treat
him like a son. They have no problem accepting me or Ted. But it his
family he needs.

I know last Christmas was hard on Ted, and then Easter.
I REFUSE to let his birthday be a sad occasion. He is all that I want
and all that I need. I get so pissed sometimes.

WILL - YOU AND BART ARE GOING TO BE HERE FOR THAT PARTY.

If you need transportation, I'll get you here one way or another. It would
be best that you arrive early that afternoon, I see the two of you bringing
in the cake, and blowing away Ted. It is going to be the best present I
could possibly give him.

Start working on a plan to get yourself out of town for the weekend. I
will just not accept NO.

Love, A Desperate,
Gary.

PS - Call me at were I work. I've got a part time job afternoons at this

little bookstore. (851) 555-4745. DO NOT SEND E-MAIL. Ted would
probably see it first.
