I was supposed to be at Memorial University in St. John’s Newfoundland, doing the theme presentation for a youth event.

I see you are grappling. I'm a grappler, too. It's sometimes good to grapple. But have no fear of falling ... you have a great support system and so many great friends to help you through times of uncertainty. I only wish I was a better friend to you.

Your condominium is an excellent thing and you should be very proud. Do yourself a favour: watch anything and everything that Sarah Richardson does. She's really quite amazing. At least we really like her.

You have been in and out of my life for what ... 12 ... 13 years? I much prefer you in than out and I have spent many an hour toiling with how it is I feel about you and I finally figured out who you are: family. I mean, who else on the planet can you simultaneously love and hate? And family never goes away ... doesn't matter how much you see them or talk to them, you know they'll never turn their back on you. When the chips are down ... your family will have some dip, dammit. Or at least they should.

I'm really looking forward to seeing you again.

yeah, I miss you too... of course...

you were my first Toronto friend... first lots of things...

we could write a book about our friendship... but no one would read it. just us.

Looking forward to a dip sometime soon.
