Dear Bond,
Well, I've found myself a little hideaway near the top of
"The Hill" and I am sitting cross-legged (yoga style) on a
blanket and I am looking out over good old Camp Boron and
writing you this letter.
Did you pay attention to yesterday's lessons? Have you
noticed how I have already used, in this letter, many of the
little ideas I talked about yesterday?
You did notice? Good. Then I guess it's safe to go on.
But before I do (there's a baby rabbit about 7 yards from
me!) I want to tell you that I just talked to your mom and
it put some pain in my brain. She works hard and now that I
am in here she more or less feels she's out there all alone
against the wolves. Rick wants money. Chuck wants money.
Your mom has bills and I feel very pressured.
It hurts.
But you once said the smartest thing I've ever heard a kid
say. You said that you were luckier than Jeff because when
Jeff lived with me I was already rich and that you get to be
with me when I am not rich and, therefore, you get to learn
how I solve problems, especially money problems.
