You will decide if I'm all you've be waiting for

I was planning on a trip to the post office which got averted by remembering a drop box a few blocks away that has a 5 o'clock pickup (most of them around us have a final pickup at noon).

Allow me to be glib and say there are two types of people in this world: those who put their mail in the dropbox then walk away and those who must pull down the handle a second time to make sure it fell into the box before they can walk away and sleep at night.

I am of the latter.

Today I put my four envelopes into the mailbox and released. Then I reopened the lid. ONE OF THEM WAS STUCK. It did not go down. I had to flip the lid an additional time.

In that second, every choice I've ever made in my life regarding my behavior was completely and utterly validated.

I love you, Raymond, and it's reading things like this that reminds me why I do.

Signed,

I stood in front of the Davis Theater waiting for my date the other night and thought: Jen! Albany Park! Just directly north of me! Must see her soon.
