[MD] What I got for Xmas

[Dan Glover]

Hi John

Yeah I've never been much of a chick magnet either. Doesn't stop me
from trying though.

I don't remember when I quit drinking. Or why. I just woke up one day
and realized I hadn't drank for a few years. I guess not drinking is
as much a habit as drinking. I don't miss it, not like I miss
cigarettes.

My address? I'm straight out of Compton. Illinois that is. PO Box 184.
Zip 61318.

Peace,

Dan
