Rachel,

I NEED to write to you right now because I have been INSPIRED and have a brilliant idea. I was inspired by a story my friend at work just told me about an experience she had last night. You see, she is doing community relations, so she goes around town and talks to different companies and communities about the services that we offer here at the Clinic. Right? Okay well last night she went to this high-rise downtown that houses a primarily senior community, and they were having their "community meeting." So she gave her little blurb, and then sat down for the rest of the meeting, after which they started to discuss finances. Apparently they do not have enough money to pay for this year's Halloween party... a fact that ENRAGED the citizens of said senior community. They started yelling and in the throes of passionate discussion, things started getting physical. An armed guard was called in, a man was escorted out, another man ran out. A man in an electric wheelchair was steadily whir-pacing in the back for an hour and a half. Another man was banned and kept his face pressed against the glass outside. A woman suggested they take their differences and settle them at the bar. Soooo many more interesting people! Now here is my idea, Rachel. We make this into a TV SHOW. Like an Office-ish documentary that follows these residents and their community meetings. I think it's gold. Gold. I laughed so hard when she was telling this story.

That's all for now. I will post for real later.
