Anyway, I had been exchanging emails with some people on blue jeep about how the horses got into the lake. Anyway he writes to me in an effort to

Wow! I totally remember him, and he is (was?) the primary character in one of my minor life regrets... do you remember during the last week of camp when I really wanted to have a cabin 5 ONLY campfire down in the gully behind our cabin? And I told him that he couldn't come because he didn't live in our cabin and I wanted it to be just us, the little group of the summer. I've ALWAYS felt bad about that, and actually didn't enjoy that night much because I knew I had been a jerk. I could either justify it by using that email to you to prove that he's a jerk who didn't deserve to hang out with us anyway, or blame myself for sending him into a spiral of hate because I wouldn't let him play with us.

I know that I'm rather unreasonably hung up on spelling (actually perhaps not in this age of spell-checkers) but it concerns me greatly that someone who is taught "to take care of [his] patients, save lives, and make a difference in the world" cannot spell, or doesn't even care enough about his presentation to use a spell-checker.

I don't trust doctors. My midwives are being run out of the local hospital by a new doctor there, and I'm heartbroken and considering not having any more children in protest. OK, maybe not that heartbroken, but very concerned about giving birth with a doctor instead (assuming we do decide to have more children).

_I_ love you, BJ. Don't let the idiots get you down. Thanks for sharing.
