Letters from Simba's fans
Simba got a Christmas card yesterday. I went to a poker party and Micah, my former housemate, brought some lingering mail that had been gathering dust in Redwood City. I opened the mail on the train home last night and in the stack was an envelope addressed only to Simba. Since it wasn't postmarked, it was legal for me to open it. So I did.
Inside the envelope was this card:
The card reads:
"Know what I love about you? You always know what I'm talking about..." [open card]
"even when I don't!"
Inside, the following was written on the card:

Hi Simba! (the cat)I was naturally rather touched, so I showed Simba the card this morning. He was very happy to hear from Mr. Wong and suggested that he pose for some pictures.
I miss you! I was wondering if you are alright since I haven't seen you for 2 to 3 months. Then heard from one fo your former housemates on Turkshead lane that you had moved to Santa Clara.
You are a wonderful and extremely friendly unique cat. I miss your occasional visits and your friendly face. Hope you like your new neighbors. I am sure you will make many new friens with your unique personality. Have a great holiday. lots of food and napping next to a warm fireplace.
Your former next door friend,
Jim Wong
Hi, Jim!
Thanks for your card! It was really nice to hear from you. I'm adjusting to life in Santa Clara. It's not as cushy as the Shores, but hey - I grew up in Santa Cruz, so I'm not so pampered as my urbane demeanor might suggest. Though I will say there is no where near enough mulch here. As you probably recall, I like mulch. It's fun to roll around in on hot summer days.
Anyway, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. Poor planning on the part of my human cohabitant saw to it that I was whisked away under the cover of night. I thought I was part of an elaborate heist. You can imagine my let down when I found out I was just moving.
Have a great Christmas and New Year, and I'll definately be sure to keep as warm as I can. I don't have a fireplace here, but there's a quiet majesty to baseboard heating that I never knew existed. I like being close to it, as it is very conducive to dreamy naps. And dreams are where its at.
Simba!
