A warholian reply from my AWOL son

Is it possible to resemble Warhol
in a good way?

Hi momma,

No worries. Am fine. Just a case of bad judgment; unplanned road trip with friends to NOLA, car broke down, busted flat in Baton Rouge (hahahaha), food poisoning, alarm clock broken, got behind. Will deal with Kirk. He’ll understand-- was wild himself back in the day from stories he tells.

I DO remember George Washington costume, and I forgot to tell you that I went to art dept Halloween party last semester as Andy Warhol. I’m attaching the pic. Cool, huh?

Wow, weird, I just noticed that in this pic of me dressed up as Warhol, I look a lot like you. Did you ever notice that, except for the hair thing, there’s a resemblance between you and Warhol?

Not in a bad way, I mean.

Will call this weekend. Good luck with script. Have any other plans for while your in new york?

Not a crisis, but any chance I could get advance on some of my second half of semester allowance?

Luv you,
Jamie

PS: what do you think about me changing my name? I mean, going by James instead of Jamie? Jamie feels kinda babyish.

Munk: ha! dunno, tho. Jamie not a Dahl fan. His weird precosity led him to read a ton of Wodehouse at impressionable age. Think I should suggest he change his name to: Jeeves?

Send him the money.. James is nice, my son is Christopher, I named him Christopher John so I could call him CJ, I just thought it a general all around nice nick.. in 5th grade he told me CJ was a baby name and we could not call him CJ, only Chris.. so my perfect CJ went on to life as 'Chris' sigh.. so recently at age 19 he told me I could call him CJ now.. go figure... calling him CJ NOW!!! hell no, I got used to the Chris shit and so it stays, I of course told him, okay my son I will try HA! never. Am I immature.. probably. So Jamie to James - Jeeves! I like it, but I bet he won't. :) Do sons have senses of humor?

I approve of using the name James. Very adult and classy if I do say so myself.
