Dear Geoff,

There are many of us in need of your local-giving personal touch (free of course) for getting our Tucson itineraries together for each day of our trip this winter. Personally, I need a really a cheap flight, a nice rent-a-car and a place to stay for 4 nights(cheap of course), 3-squares a day, a place to hang out every night, some cash (if you have any extra),  hand picked awesome meteorites purchased earlier in the week(I'm good for the ones I like and are not too costly), no rain and in the 70's each day, and anything else you can think of that I might deserve. Call me at home when it is all straightened out.

Oh...thanks in advance of course. 

Still your friend,

John

PS 50-50 I'll actually make it back again this year...but you know I'm worth the gamble.
