    Checked the mailbox today.  I was surprised, but not really, by the amount of letters I had received.  Everybody apparently has something to tell me.  N. said I was a terrible friend.  M. said I reminded him of a 100 needles from Mom.  P. said I talked too much and didn’t give him enough credit.  L. said he loves me more and more each day but now he is sick.   D. said I complained too much.  There were no letters from S. but I remembered something funny he did once.  I had been really mad at him, stewing for hours, during which I painted a screaming face in yellow on top red and blue squares.  When he finally came home he walked into my studio and saw it, he said “That’s cool, I like that.”
