Dear Bond,

Well, here I am in my room trying to avoid the heat. I heard
it is 114 degrees outside right here and 120 in Palm
Springs.

Whatever. We must press on. I am fasting today and I did a
little bit of roadwork (just walking) a bit earlier when it
wasn't so hot. I also finished doing some changes in an ad
for L. and I am working on a DM letter for him. In addition,
I wrote and mailed a letter to Joanie and I am writing this
letter to you.

There is a reason for telling all this and the reason is I
want to give you some guilt.

I'm serious. I was a little disappointed during our last
visit when you told me you haven't been doing your roadwork.
Now, of course, if you have been sick that's one thing but,
if you are goofing off just because you "feel bad" that's
quite another.

Listen up, Bondy: These letters are a labor of love for me
and I am trying to reach you all the important stuff I know.
And, one of the most important things I can teach you is to
just do it! KEEP ON PEEPING ON! Everybody else here
has been eating steaks and "celebrating" the 4th. That's OK
but, right now, I've got more important things to do and
those are: (1) get my body in shape (2) educate my youngest
son (3) make a lot of money and (4) keep up my important
relationships on the outside.
