Here’s the Reb ten years ago. This was in California somewhere, because she had her hair dyed red for some movie role. She is a natural blue-eyed blonde, just like me. That photo album she is glancing through got stolen out of my Cadillac in Miami around a year ago.
My house-hunting isn’t going so great. What I have now is expensive, but it’s quiet. Easily worth the extra $150 to me, but I can’t get my work done. [Referring to the current place being too small.] Which means P21 [Project 21] spends another costly month in storage.[Author’s note: it comes back to me now. Project 21 was the 8 month task of counting to 1,000,000 just to see if it could be done. It could, and when finished, it weighed so much that it required a storage bin. Later we put it into display cases and took it to California.]
I’m halfway through “Warbirds”. These books by retired military personnel are much alike, and that’s why I prefer history to novels. History doesn’t waste every third sentence. Does it really matter if the new base commander is bald? Is every hero a loose cannon who‘s wife and daughter died in a car crash?
This appears to be a reference to my retirement plan.] The good news is I seem to again be meeting P81 quotas, despite my almost double cost of living. This plan is very important because it answers a question I’ve had since I was 16, “If you’re are going to have nothing, why not have nothing in California?”
I shall try to give a better background of P21 in the entry of 2/1/03.
This [the following] appears to be a reference to my retirement plan. The good news is I seem to again be meeting P81 quotas, despite my almost double cost of living. This plan is very important because it answers a question I’ve had since I was 16, “If you’re are going to have nothing, why not have nothing in California?” (The version that became popular was that I said, "Why can't we have nothing in California?" But I never actually said it that way. It was RofR misquoting me.)

[Author's note 2018: zoom ahead 15 years and the richest self-made women in America who are not billionaires (yet) are:
• Vera Wang ($630 million)
• Tory Burch ($600 million)
• Madonna ($580 million)
• Marissa Mayer ($540 million)
• Donna Karan ($470 million)
• Celine Dion ($400 million)
• Barbra Streisand ($390 million)
• Beyonce ($350 million)
• Judy Sheindlin, a.k.a. “Judge Judy” ($300 million)
• Taylor Swift ($280 million)
And I've never heard of three of them, another three I only know because they are musicians, and one who apparently is a musician but I didn't know it. I looked at their photos and number two ain't bad, but not as hot has my ex was. See photo. But the only one I'd recognize in person is Taylor.]
