Arrival [Post 1955 : 4:24 pm California]

Dear Charles,

I have arrived safely in San Francisco, California and waiting for my driver. The airport is clean and nice, we should try for a trip here someday. I know you're wondering,"A postcard so soon", but I figure I send this out to you before getting to the real work of helping BJ with the new clinic.

It will be a long month.

I'll try to call tonight if I can find some time. I think for a couple of days it's going to be reunion of sorts with the meet and greet of BJ's family and friends, so I'm preparing you now for any delay.

(I heard you smirking.)

I want to tell you all the things I want to say on this card but I won't. You know we haven't been away from each other since the beginning and I won't lie to you, I'm a little bit scared.

(Don't give me the comforting look because I can't crawl in your arms right now, even if your arms were that long. Even if I wish for it at this moment.)

Oh nevermind me, I will be fine. I'll write more and when I talk to you later you'll tell me that I am being ridiculous in your practical manner. While I haven't decided on what to tell to BJ about you, I will be very very careful. I have to go, I think I see BJ on the other side of the glass. I'm wrapping this up and posting it now.

Yours,
Benjamin

Benjamin's postcard is wrapped in tissue paper and stuffed into an envelope and affixed with a stamp. Dropped in the mailbox near to him. In a couple of days, the envelope will arrive in Boston, Masschusetts.
