I wasn't at all expecting what arrived today, but I loved the way it made me stop everything else. And then it was an hour and a half later, and the sun had gone down, and I felt like I had just woken up from an afternoon nap, the kind that leaves you confused as to whether the time on the clock means a.m. or p.m.

I have other things to say, but I have some thinking to do first. I can say though that it's one of the greatest things ever to have someone read aloud to you and be unable to control his laughter. That made me happy in the nicest way.

p.s. your secret message is worth six points more than mine. you'll be hearing it soon.
