A very slow correspondence

A letter to a friend that I have been writing for a very long time. A letter that grew too big for its britches (somewhat like its author). A letter that just oozes on and on rather than coming to end like a dignified letter would.

Perspective

Tim's sister and her boyfriend came over to watch "Meet the Robinsons" tonight.

After they left, I mentioned to Tim how much she reminds me of him, although in female form; she's got the same curly dark hair, the same nose (although in a more feminine form) -- and the thing I noticed last night when she took off her socks so that her boyfriend could crack the knuckles in her toes: she's got the same long toes that Tim does, although hers are not so hairy.

He said, "Actually, I think of your toes as kind of stubby."

"Honey, my toes are totally normal," I assured him.

"I know," he conceded. "It's just that my perspective is skewed."

He is the best husband I've ever had. (Also the only, but even if there were six, I'm sure I'd like him best.)
