Dear T,

Really hope you (or I) didn't get Covid from R Wednesday. (And then me potentially from you today.) That would be like my worst birthday present ever! And would keep me from being able to see you in person before you go away in about a week.So, fingers crossed, knock on wood, and all that. Stay healthy.

Also, so you write short stories, eh? I got that sense, from something you said before. Would love to read one, though I'm sure you wouldn't share with me (and not just because I'm an editor!) Maybe writing (along with political views) is something we actually have in common?

Love you,
LT
