Thanks, I know, it kind of blew me away. Especially because the other time he sent me a long e-mail, just a few weeks into our seeing each other, he totally missed the mark. Maybe that's the difference a few months of knowing each other makes...he gets what I'm looking for now, and I'm better at asking him for what I need.

And LOL at hyphen use--I assume he was using them as a shortcut for an em-dash. At least his grammar and spelling are otherwise better than MC's (not that it takes much!)
