Dear T,
Sorry for the email, but I just feel sort of weird about how you reacted to a few things today and would rather kind of clear the air now vs. waiting to talk about it right before the holiday. I just want you to understand *why* I was asking those things. And I'm also hoping that this will allow me to get emailing out of my system, and I can abstain for Thursday evening through Tuesday afternoon (barring something really awful happening). Had this been a non-holiday week, and I was meeting with you Wednesday (and then Friday), I'd have just waited to talk to you then.

Love,
LT
