“I am nostalgic for things as I am doing them, and for things I have not done yet.” - Tess Edmuodson, from here. Made me think of you.

Isn’t it weird how quickly we’ve progressed to the point where writing even one letter or postcard a day seems giant. Meanwhile, each day we pop off dozens of emails without really thinking. I’m intrigued by this challenge. Not sure I’m up for it, but I’m definitely intrigued. You?

Dear Stephen, All I have to show for my week is the recollection, forever burnt into my mind, of a nun standing outside a Phoenix Hooters watching the end of a football game.

I suppose I should’ve asked before entrusting myself to you. No matter, I’m just so happy to have some...

I know we always say it, but what if we did live in the same town? Imagine the madcap antics that would ensue. Once upon a time, we did live near one another. Mere blocks away, but we didn’t yet know what we were missing. Oh, sweet Valley of Noe and the late 90’s… Since an in-person day-to-day friendship doesn’t seem likely, I am going to use the power of my imagination...
