Oooh, Mike, I love this idea for an entry. With my 25th reunion coming this summer, it might be the perfect time to write a letter to myself. Sort of like "the Lake House" without all that chick-flick stuff. ;) We'll see if I can come up with something in the next week or so.
Part 1, eh? I sense you plan to write to your past self in a number of instances. Cool idea even cooler.

Mike!

Want some sad news? You know that high school you just left behind forever? You’re currently living around the corner from it. You pass it every day on the way to work. Don’t worry, you did actually leave town. You did some time in Phoenix, Arizona (you went all out when you got your first apartment…you went all the way out of state!), and you did about seven years in San Diego, which was AWESOME. But expensive. You’re back here for a while because it’s more affordable, and because you felt you’d spent too long away from family and friends and needed to be back around them again. Smart move. Got to keep up with the people in your life. They’re important.
They're damn important. I've realized lately that all the moving around really wouldn't have been anything without the friends I've made in all those towns. When it all comes down to it, I miss my friends (couldn't tell in Seattle, could ya?) but I can get right back in the swing of things with any of them, and that makes me very very happy.

Mike, don't forget to tell you that Star Trek: The Next Generation is coming in the fall of 1987 and that it will spin off and that there will be literally hundreds of new Star Trek episodes to watch between all the new series.

That is an awesome letter. It reminds me of an assignment a teacher had when I was 8 years old. We were to write a letter to ourselves about the present and she sent the letters to us 10 years later (when we were seniors in high school). It was crazy to get the letter! I have it somewhere and now I want to dig it up and blog about it! Ha.
