For now this is what I am including. I am planning on this being a plan.

When he was at Bank Atlantic I took a friend. He said he had no new message. That if anyone was looking for a new message other than World Peace, they would be disappointed. My friend said she was upset at the end cause he had no new message. I laughed. That was for her! And she is a Buddhist so I thought it would be good to take her with me. ...

I am inviting my friends to join me. Let's get together on this event! If not, don't look for me other than in the streets of NYC!!!! Home Sweet Home is calling!

There are other things I want to do too... We'll see... Love LI
