I hope your heart feels better soon sweetie.

ABRA!

somethin's in the works as we speak...

go check your mail...

i've got to run, but i hope that that little attempt at cohesive writing helps a little... more later.

mine hurts too, but in a good way i think.

don't be sad. in a week or two there's no more homework.

Hey there. What's up? Why so sad?

It was raingin here too but I love the rain. Maybe because it is so infrequent.

My ex came bakc from China a month ago and brought me some authentic Chinese tea. They drink tea like crazy there evidently. Thus, "I wouldn't (insert verb here) you for all the tea in China." is absolutely appropriate.

So the tea is loose tae and it's kinda vacuum packed or something. You put in the hot water and it puffs up big. So the first time I put too much in and WOW..almost choked on it, It was REALLY subtle but i got used to it.

I am a major tea drinker so reading you are "into" it makes me like you all the more ...what is your fav?

You can make the sun shine.

Holidays can be so tuff sometimes. But just do what I do. Grab somebody and kick them in the face!

Avoiding writing is a noble task. I'm avoiding grading - I wish more of my students did more of what you're doing (they never believe me when I tell them I'm going to flunk them automatically if they turn in their papers).

Here's to hoping you're feeling better soon, though. I'd say, rejoice! the world is a fine place, and worth fighting for... but I'm about to go open the NYT after writing this, and I bet it'd prove me a liar.

painful times, huh?..must be a dude..i can hear it in your voice almost..
