I have 3 weeks off and nowhere to go! God, reading a fashion magazine and watching TV sounds amazing.

Shawna

PS No attempt at iMessage? Must be your new Panamanian girlfriend keeping tabs on you ;)

It’s nice to hear her voice. It pulls me out of my funk. Why am I so weak for her?

From: Georgeous

To: Shawna B.

Subject: that is so fucking AWESOME!

oh, shawna, that is great. so, so great. i feel like a weird old grandpa saying this, but i’m proud of you. long haul, eh?

i have to run. the boat needs oil, and we’ve got a few errands while we’re out. but i will try imessage. i heard last week at the bar that it works, even on a suspended stateside phone number. how would we survive without the icloud? i’ll pause being a luddite, as your graduation present. probably tomorrow.

you are always welcome to come here and read elle magazines. sorry, no tv ;)

Our boat is a two-stroker, which means you have to mix the oil and the gas together. It’s messy, and half of it ends up in the water. My next non-profit is going to be becoming a small engine mechanic and touring all of Latin America tuning engines. The gasoline savings and water quality improvements would be massive.

PJ is on fire. He’s full throttle on this Playa Bluff thing. He’s even teeing up a swim clinic for me—focusing on the kids that live near The Bluffs. He made a new flyer and already had it printed (what?). He left the date blank this time. That way, we can Sharpie it in right before—in case of any snafus or the dreaded sin luz.

Genius.

He’s been beavering away in his room, mocking up the website. We’d kicked around a few names, but my worst one he loves, so we’re going with it. He spent most of his youth just outside of Sydney, in New South Wales, Australia, so it’s going to be: New South Waves—Hotel & Aquatic Center. The domain has been secured (thanks, GoDaddy). It’s not my finest work, but it’s got PJ’s essence all over it. He’s been researching our loan options.

“I’ve got a lead on financing! Mates Rates!”

I fire up my weathered iMac. I’m pretty sure this is not gonna work. But I miss Shawna’s voice.

Dearly.

Enough to give it a try. Keeping secrets from PJ has made me feel lonely and isolated.

Yo?

Hey!

This works? Shawna?

Hello George ;)

No way.

Welcome to the party.

This is pretty cool. It even does the

capitalization thing for you.

It’s called the Internet?

Aren’t you a Mac owner?! Jesus.

Reluctantly, yes. CONGRATS on school! That

is so wonderful! What do you want for

your graduation gift?

To have you come home?

Ugh.

I know, I know. But I would like

to see you. I miss you.

I know. Me too.

But I DO NOT miss exchanging

sexy emails with you and then

having you disappear. NOT COOL.

Understood. I’m not 100% at fault, you

know. You need to accept some of the

blame. Fair?

Fair. I accept 91%. So, what’s her name?

Jesus.

It’s OK. I’m cool.

Oh, man. It was Andrea.

Whirlwind over a few days.
