That profile line about the worst Thai in the city being worth it for the company — I've thought about it twice today, which is once more than I've thought about invoicing. Are we doing Saturday at two-thirty, or does the $32 menu need witnesses?

Two-thirty at the Thai place, and I'll be the one with a list. Leave the phone in the other pocket and I'll believe the profile line.

Right — the song you mentioned, the one you can't listen to on the bus without crying, that's the one I'll have ready. I'll put it on before we get there and everything, so it actually holds, and you can see me do the boring bit where I finish a thought.

Thursday at 7:30, then, and I'll bring the tissues and a list of reasons that's not complaints. You'll get the boring bit tomorrow.
