Hey Lyle

Just realized that we were at UCLA around the same time. How's it goin? You're not in socal anymore, right?

Bought your book back around 1998. Good read. Did well on the diet. Back then I was still working around Westwood and people would see me eating In N' Out protein style and ask me if I'm on that 'freaky fat diet'.

No, got out after graduation. I was there for the floods, the fire, the riots, the end of the drought, when the state went bankrupt and maybe one or two of the seasons. Avoided the big earthquake that brought down the 10.

As I usually tell people, the things I miss about LA are the weather and my friends. It's the rest of it I can't stand.
