Hi Jeffrey,

I hope you'=e well and doing fun, interesting things. I am going to Quebec for a few w=eks to study French. I hope I don't pick up the Quebecois accent. An=way, I would have preferred to go to the French Alps but maybe next =ear when I retire. Instead I spent most of July dealing with a lazer proce=ure (one eye each week) to correct the angle of my irises in order t= allow the aqueous fluid to drain properly from my eyeballs. The procedure=went well, and I am very grateful that the doctor had been monitoring my e=es over the last few years and prevented me from getting glaucoma. Anyway,=if you do come back to the States, I won't be in NY to go with you to Erik=s show before it closes. My favorite painting is the big, blue triangular =ne in the photo, so if you go, you'll have to let me know, if you agree.q=iv> Before I l=ave, I'd like to ask if you know anybody or anything regarding renti=g studio spaces for artists? Erik's current lease in Harlem expires in Sep=ember and he needs to move because the rent is too high. Although I think =e is a very talented artist, he doesn't have business experience or a ment=r when it comes to the business aspects of being an artist. It's fru=trating as a mother, not to be able to give helpful advice but I am equall= ignorant in this area. Are there real estate agents, accountants, or fina=cial planners who specialize in this field? Do you know any real estate br=kers to refer him to for advice or to help him find a new space?

I apologize =or always turning to you in times of need, but you are one of two smart fr=ends whose opinions I trust and respect. My other friend, Drusilla, whom l=also love, is very smart but in a totally different way. If you get my dri=t!
