Hey Toe,
Drove C* to work this morning and we experienced one of those weird skies you only see out west or in the midwest. The sky above us was completely blue, but to the West was a line of gray cloud, it's edge looking white in the morning sun, stretched from horizon to horizon. C* described it as a blanket being drawn over us.

I tell you, sometimes it's scary being able to see so much sky. It makes you realize how small we are. Could this be the source of midwestern humility? And a contributor to that sense of entitlement you sometimes find in more enclosed landscapes. OK, I'm making big generalizations.

I'm feeling physically and mentally better than last week. I saw a lot of friends down in B'ton this weekend, and despite the fact that I was up late, drinking a little, and generally busy socializing, I felt rejuvenated by the end of the weekend. I was beginning to get worried about my health last week because it seemed like I didn't have enough energy for much of anything. Now I think that at least part of how I felt was psychological. I think I was depressed, and seeing friends and having fun this weekend cured me. Now to maintain my health I just need to make some friends locally.

You are a good husband. There are all types of relationships, including ones where geographic distance is not indicative of emotional distance. C-Hawaii and her husband love each other a lot, and he supports her need to be here. You're a good man to do the same. I'm not positive I could do it, but I think if it came to that, I could.

Glad you got the shirt. BTW, it shrinks like crazy. Don't put it in the drier, unless you want to frame it instead of wear it.

Hey, I'm coming to town soon. I'll email you. Looking forward to hanging out.
