To my thoughtful colleague who phoned me this morning (Wednesday) to offer to take me to lunch just because he hadn’t seen me in awhile: your gesture has really brightened what has otherwise been a pretty bleak few weeks. I get really awkward when people offer to buy things for me so I’m not sure I articulated it very well on the phone, but I just wanted to say an enormous thank you for the friendly reminder that there are some wonderful people in this big, bad world. Looking forward to some laughs… —And Some Sweet Potato Fries
