While We Wait

I wanted to say, “hello my friend,” but I realized that most people who say “my friend” don’t really mean it like that. I don’t want to seem insincere, so when I say friend, please believe me when I mean that I’d like to share a beer with you. Or whatever. Ha ha.

I kid.

But there you are and I’m so eager to have this little conversation with you that maybe I crack a nervous joke now and then. I’m very excited to be working with you, even if only for a little while. I’ve seen your work and it’s pretty impressive stuff. That thing you did on the Hill? With all those kids? I mean, I don’t even know how you did that!

Look at that. It’s already time. How quickly the minutes tick by. Let me put on my mask real quick. That’s better. No hard feelings? You might feel a slight sting, followed by a sharp pain, followed by nothing ever again.
