Sinister: postcard messages from CalifornIA

[Ben Apps]

Hi Sinister,

And a happy new year to all. I hope the first few days of your 2002 have 
been good. Mine have. Been grate!

I flew over the pennines and Glasgow (could see Parkhead, Hampden and Ibrox 
all at the same time!!), and Loch Lomond and Mull and GREENLAND!! all caked 
in snow, all the while listening to Tigermilk. Eleven hours later I touched 
down in Los Angeles (LOS ANGELES !!) and after a couple more hours 
negotiating the lovely US immigration and customs officials was met by the 
truly Awesome Rachel Fruitloop and her friend Vicky. At first it was all 
pleasantries but a little awkwardness in finally meeting face to face with 
someone you've opened a bit of your heart up to via email and a couple of 
phone calls. But now, only what, 5 days later, I can't imagine never knowing 
her. But in 4 days I have to go home :(

I'll leave Rachel to tell you more. She's a much better writer than me, as 
you all know. I just wanted to do my reporting back duty and thank everyone 
who wished me well. I don't think it could've turned out much better, and 
it's all down to Sinister, which is YOU!!

Just in case it wasn't clear (put it down to his gallant modesty) Ken won 
the London bowling with that score of 157. So unless you did better Mr 
Gillanders, Chu's our champion, as if he wasn't already!

take care

Ben
