I just want to start out by saying to my good friends Laura, Dan, Michael and Becky, that when I read your comments on my poem I was pretty much on top of the world. Unfortunately, it was cloudy out at the time so the visibility wasn't much to speak of. I love you guys! After seriously considering all of your offers I have decided that the fairest way to settle this dispute is to wait for the man (or woman, this is me not wanting to close any doors) of my dreams. The problem is that I ususally don't remember my dreams but the first time one of you appears in my threatre of the night, I shall let you know. And then we can start discussing vows. In the meantime, I am totally open to bribes.

And Kevin gets his own paragraph. First, because I am an ass and thought all week about how I was supposed to send him a birthday card and, of course, when the day arrived, I neglected to remember why I was supposed to remember what day it was. BUON CUMPLEANNO KEVIN! TI VOGLIO MIO AMOR!!! And secondly, beacuse Kevin's list of reasons why we are friends literally made me laugh out loud. None of this fake LOL crap. No, this was me actually laughing out loud at 1:00 in the morning when my family was sleeping probably finding me quite obnoxious. I thank you for that...

Last but not least, I give 100 points to Glastonbury for its classy "Taste of Glastonbury on the Green" last night and 1000 points to Dan Kelley for being an awesome friend and inviting me. I would also like to give 50 points to "Over the Hedge" at the drive-in movies in the back of Dan's truck with his crazy G-bury crowd for being hilarious! And another 25 points to the second feature, X-Men III only beacuse it was clearly not riveting enough to keep me awake and when I woke up at the end to the booming voice of the drive-in announcer advising us that the snack-bar was about to close, I prompty sat up, rubbed my eyes and asked if Snow White had made an appearance in the movies. For those wondering, the answer was a resounding "no." Oh, and -50 points for MapQuest leading us through the worst section of Hartford so that we had to reroute on the way back when it was 2:00 in the morning, dark and scary.

I miss your hugs,

Cata
