I’m really looking forward to my internship beginning next week. Working with the homeless population of Los Angeles should provide a most interesting summer.
I was talking to Dean Perrin about it at a Memorial Day Eve cookout Sunday evening, and he told me about the movie, The Soloist, out in theaters now. It is a story from the streets of L.A. about a friendship that developed between a columnist from the L.A. Times and a homeless man. Add in a little help from the Internet, and I’ve decided that I would really like to see this movie. Either way, I’ll keep an eye out for Mr. Ayers this summer. I hope to make lots of new friends, too.
Here is the 60 Minutes segment on The Soloist if you haven’t seen it already.

Al, I read a really great book you would probably like. It’s called “Same Kind of Different as Me”, and it’s about a white millionaire who becomes friends with a black homeless man. I cried a good bit, and I’ve been meaning to tell you about it. Love and miss you all!!

Thanks, Robin! Sounds like something I’d enjoy (other than the crying part).
Love and miss you all, too!
