"just us"

[_nondescript]

word.

you can come to kc and hang out with sarah and agree with each other about how the guys should take over and carry the baby for 4.5 months of pregnancy.

i'll sit across the room, sipping my bourbon, nodding my head.

see, whats weird it i dont actually feel that way-- i dont really think that joe should "share the burden" or something. to me that seems kind of ridiculous.
i wish i could move out of the nyc area to somewhere its cheaper to live. and with better schools. i keep daydreaming about moving to albany or suburban rhode island.

pipe dreams.

i built a house in exeter. well, south exeter. something boony - out near chariho school anyway. don't know who's in there now, but you're welcome to it as far as i'm concerned. very quiet with wooded lot and all. very not nyc.

i know you'd prefer that joe come up with this stuff (your stuff) on his own. and maybe you've told him before. but i think it would be ok to tell him again. "sometimes" guys can be dumb and don't know they're being insensitive. he might actually appreciate you helping him help you, and might learn to be more proactive with such things in the future.

my sister-in-law used to drink o'doul's or whatever that nonalcoholic stuff is - just to have the flavor-ish of alcohol, or at least something other than water and the other same-old's.

i'll try to be more sarcastic next time...
