I slept in this morning the way
you sleep in every single morning.

I am worried my house sale will collapse. You must
be worried about missing your flight 25 years ago.

Which blue shirt will you be wearing today? Yes,
my wrinkled ensemble is an embarrassment.

I think I’m coming down with something
cruddy. But I guess you would kill to have that.

We missed you at the wedding. You would have
loved it. Can you still fall in love?

It’s been nice to catch up
exactly where you were.
