Dear LT,
You're driving me totally insane with your attachment issues. What else do you expect me to do or say? Guess maybe we'll find that out tomorrow!
On the plus side, hey, thanks for single-handedly financing my last-minute end-of-summer vacation! Sorry to leave you out in the cold for 12 days there, but I need a break! And actually, if we talk while you're out of town, then it's only a week--and you have the stone and my online photos and whatever other creepy ways you'll find to stay connected to me.

Dr. T
