Hi Lisa,
How was the weekend? Bday picnic and then the shakespeare in moraga. hope you're not hung over. anyway, i want to ask you which acct do you want me to put the $ in? i'll try to get it done this week. Next, i spoke to aunt rose. can you hook her up with a few passes to moma. she called yesterday to congratulate me for making it to 60. she said glen was coming in sept. to stay with her for a month. she humorously has membership at asian and de young but not moma. i can be the in between about dates and how many. i didn't tell her that you had 5 tickets daily. i just said you could get her a few passes, but did not specify daily. she was kind of thrilled. is it ok? she thought she had to meet you at a specific time, but i said no. there's a will-call?
i had lunch with a few old coworkers and jack said if you want he'll connect you with a website for social security jobs, but when i mentioned this offer to uncle randy, he laughed and said he couldn't imagine you working for social security with your background. i didn't think so either. job security and more $$.
wow where to start. i wish blogger had an annotation feature.
-how do moms always know when you're hungover?! ... or am i just typically hungover.
-i like how she says "she was kind of thrilled." this is typical of the understatement my j-school roommate kiera is queen of; i think i picked it up from her and started saying stuff like "it's kind of amazing." or maybe moms really is THAT droll, and that it is a characteristic passed down in our amniotic fluid.

this reminds me, dad was talking to laurie and i a few weeks back about the child study center preschool i went to at state - it's basically a center staffed by psych masters's students as a way for them to learn hands-on, i think. laurie had commented that many of her friends also attended similar child development study preschools; i told her i'm the only person i've ever met who did. dad says they were quite popular at that time, as it was shortly after the dr. spock fad and many parents were trying to find ways to give their kids an edge or promote better development, or whatever. anyways, i mentioned that the one good thing about going there was that i have really detailed behavior reports from that time (i guess age 4 or 5) - my mom still has them and i looked at them a few years ago. i like to tell people that it was noted that when i'm angry i tend to sit with my legs straight out and my arms crossed - and i still cross my arms when i'm angry! but my dad added another thing he recalled from those reports: "lisa likes to spend time alone."
i kind of can't stop thinking about that.

and a gif of my beloved PC dancing, for your enjoyment. one of the best parts of yesterday was after one of PC's scenes, sylvie said: "do they ever portray him in a positive light?" jericho agreed that he has little to love about him. i think he is really the most compelling character on the show, but am still fleshing out the argument.

you haven't written this much in a long time.
neither have i.
pete campbell steals the show. he's just a wounded little puppy looking for approval. who can't relate to that?! also, your parents rock. they seem so understatedly dedicated to raising you.
who knows if you will get this now because you posted this last month, but some comments:
1. hook me up with a job at ss!
2. that was the best email ever.
3. love love LOVE the child behavior reports. i believe mine would say, "minnie is hard to decipher." HA!
