Dear John,
Over the course of the last few months I have been noticing your insistent use of the internet. I have grown concerned that there may be another person in your life that you are not sharing with me. You are constantly reading things on the computer. Waking up before the crack of dawn to go sneak into a neighborhood park and leaving the house while everyone is still sleeping to go out to Mission Viejo after dark.

Now, I know you are not a morning person, so I do not understand what you are doing. Nor do I understand this desire you have to constantly meet F.T.F., whoever this person is. You even had the nerve to go to a romantic restaurant on the lake and order Alaskan King Krab! And now I find out you have a reservation at a secluded restaurant in Trabuco Canyon…are you going on a date with her, little miss F.T.F. You know, these little white lies have got to stop.

As I was rummaging through your emails and desk papers, trying to come to some conclusion of what is going on I came across a letter you wrote to Ann Landers. You were seeking professional advice for this “serious problem” your “friend” has. Yet you referenced both yourself and F.T.F. This relationship is so close to being over. I found a SlimJim wrapper in the trash can, and you’ve always hated them. And a scribbled receipt-looking paper from a shop called Beyond the Flowers. You’ve never bought me flowers since I’ve known you!

You’re becoming a stranger to me, and I think you might be leading a life of crime. You carry these special tools in your car in a spy brief case, like magnets, tweezers, telescoping rods, and all sorts of McDonald’s toys. I even found a gnarled hiking stick and a bloody Del Scorcho packet in the trash can. You’re not cracking into safes, are you…or… (gasp) murder?

I checked with your boss and you’re taking long lunch hours and sometimes leaving work early. I’ve followed you to work some mornings and you don’t go straight there. Sometimes you pull into dark alleys and off the side of the road. What are you so obsessed with? Is it that you no longer have feelings for me? Why are you doing this?

I have just about had enough of this madness and I know something is wrong. Our relationship is now at a crossroads and so I will now look for a sign. So if you truly do love me, you will prove me wrong and finally put a stop to this madness. If not, then I understand that you need to fulfill your goals, dreams and ambitions with this madness and I will take this as a sign from above. Whatever it is you’re doing, you have 24 hours to get over it. I will have my answer shortly after this letter has been published for all to read.

With love,
The lady with the Cabernet hair

Found with a.k.a. Diana. Took us longer than it should've - gpsr's were acting up a bit and had us searching in the wrong place. Common sense (geosense?) prevailed and we finally made the find. TFTC!

There were red curbs all over but a legal parking spot was eventually found. So this was a park-walk-&-grab. TFCT!!
