I knooowww :( this state of affairs has been crawling inexorably to this intolerable conclusion! (I tried to cram another impressively doom-laden word beginning with 'in' into that sentence, but failed. SORRY.) I remember with misty eyes the days in which nary an hour would pass betwixt message and reply, and stretches of a week were occasions for shock and affrontment. The sort of thing village elders would harrumph at, as they shook their beards sadly at the state of the younger generation. (Although in your case I use the word 'younger' in its loosest possible sense.) ;)
...Okay so maybe my recollections are tinted with softly glowing sepia and also I was never that quick, THE TIMEZONES SAW TO THAT cough grumble rargh, but yeah! I do feel like our mammoth, geography-defying correspondence has slowed to a mere trickle as of late. Which is Cloysterish, because anything that can be described as geography-defying should be praised and adulated and engaged in as often as possible. Because fuck geography. Um, I've forgotten where I was going with this.
OH YES THAT'S RIGHT. Basically I miss you, let's talk more ;) and not one, but two new business endeavours? How dashing! How daring! And if you succeed beyond your wildest dreams, I fully expect half your money in alimony, bitch. xx
