Jake...
I'm really really glad you called.  I didn't mean to push.  It's
just really hard not to be jealous of anyone who gets to spend
the summer with you.  I thought about what you said about going 
to visit.  I talked to my mom again and she seemed even more 
opposed to the idea.  She said things would be different if dad
knew, but it's hard enough lying to him everyday and she wouldn't
let me put her in a situation where exstensive lying would be re-
quired.  I thought about going over her head and asking Dad, but 
I've been really unfair to Mom and right now she is going to let 
me go to NYC.  I asked her what the difference was between NYC 
and London. She actually sent me to my room.  I don't think 
pushing her anymore is going to help the situation.  I guess I've
learned that it never really helps.  Did I mention how glad I was
to hear your voice?  We have to do that more.  I think a lot of
these emails can be dropped if we do that more.  What do you say?
I forgot to tell you about movie night.  Jill and Gwen took Will
to the video store, but I doubt he had very much input.  They got
Sweet November.  Could there be a movie that sucks more?  It was
sad and depressing.  And things only got worse because I think 
Jill has figured out that Gwen knows we're together.  She said
"Keanu is such a fox, don't you think Ham?"  What was I supposed
to say?  That pretty much gave Gwen the greenlight to talk to me
like a "girlfriend" or something.  Will seemed amused, but I think
he was glad for something uplifting.  He started his job today.
I'm tired thinking about it for him.  Working, classes and crew.
I couldn't do that.  Speaking of class, I have to go and get some
homework done.  More phone calls would be nice.

I love you,
Hamilton
