Sent my boss an email at 0715 asking her if she'd pick me up at the dealership. She hates it when I walk. I knew it would go straight to her blackberry.

Did you take a breath at anytime during this run-on paragraph???

It was meant to convey a sense of overwhelming urgency.

It gives me a headache too.

I wish I had double checked my camera for a disc because a picture of you like one of the knights in Monty Pythons: Holy grail would have been hilarious.

I can't wait to see it.

I got stuck in the same damn traffic heading to Van Alstyne to see the dead people!!!

I'm glad you finally got to read this as it explains where I was all day. Our client took us out for pizza and games.

I hadn't thrown a bowling ball in over 20 years, and my first frame was a score of, "Two."

Remember at the last Christmas party when I invited those two ladies no one knew to sit at our table with us? Yeah, I didn't do that this time.
