Dear Lee Chin #5

Saturday 1-19-80
Dear Lee Chin,
Sorry I haven’t written in a while but I just had to tell you about our new coaches Rick and John. They are both such foxes! Trudy likes Rick better, I personally like John better. He’s got such a nice body!! I’d really love to ball him! (I didn’t say that.) The only thing Rick has going over John is age (Rick’s 16, John’s 17.) There’s a Beatles thingie on the radio tomorrow, I think it’s on WABC. I’m in the process of curling my hair right now. I hope it turns out. I’m not gonna wear curly in public, but I just want to see what it looks like. Any road, getting back to Jeff. He’s such a fox! I’m beginning to look forward to practice now! I love him so much! I wonder if he likes me. Wouldn’t that be great!?! We were gonna have a meet tomorrow but it got cancelled (aw darn!) so any way, I’ll talk to you later. – Mary

“Any road”? Did you catch that? Any road? No explanation, and then she casually switches back to “any way”.

You did say you’d like to ball him, Mary. And Lee Chin heard you.

    um, maybe I’m a prude, but what is “balling?” I could use my imagination, but I’m not sure I would get it.

    it’s the bee’s knees.
