Dear T,
Wish I could talk to you. I feel I messed up that conversation with H. I know I could email, but I don't think it's at that level of being worthy of bothering you on a Friday night/Saturday morning. (A year ago, I definitely would have emailed--maybe even more recently.) Guess we'll just talk about it Monday.

Weird question, but I wonder how the conversation would have gone if your wife had said what I said to H to you? How would you have reacted? Just curious. Like your suggestions were probably tailored to how *you* would have received it. Rather than how my H would. Or maybe I just did it all wrong, which is fairly likely. Joking about the one thing first probably didn't help...

Also, I'm glad you liked the small piece of my writing I shared (though it was awkward reading it out loud!)--and that you told me you wouldn't lie and say it was good if you didn't genuinely think that. Hope my instructor thinks that, too!

Love,
LT
