When you've got some free time, we should discuss those legal matters that I mentioned to you. Maybe over coffee and bagels? I'm a fan of breakfast.

How have you been settling in? Sleeping any better?

For something this important, I'll make myself available immediately. Whenever works best for you, Martha.

Besides, I would never turn down coffee and bagels.

I have. I'm taking it one step at a time. Sleeping more than I did when I first arrived.

How've you been?

[smithnjones]

Who could turn down coffee and bagels? :) I think this weekend should be good. I'll let you know.

That is good to hear! And really it's all any of us can do, taking it one step at a time.

Oh, perfectly fine! Chicago seems to be exceedingly quiet as of late, which is rather frightening, honestly. I keep expecting unexpected explosion, which I suppose would not make it unexpected at all.

Only a fool, Martha. Only a fool. And the weekend works for me, too. I'll be around.

Exactly. I still miss home fiercely, and the people with it but there's no sense in wallowing.

I know what you mean. The calm before the storm.

[smithnjones]

A damn fool, Rachel. A damn fool, indeed. :) Good to hear it!

There's only so far one much wallowing that can be done.

Yes, the eerie, frightening calm before the storm.

I'll talk to soon then.
