You didn't agree to this, did you? I mean, I want you to get to and from work and all, but darling, were you thinking of me? What if they tell you stories that I might enjoy? What if they tell you that they've been practicing exotic perversions, and have gotten rather good at some of them? What if a story has startling twists and human foibles and a moral? I might need to know about that. I think you should have asked for an exception. Is it too late for an amendment? Could you say, of course I wouldn't breathe a word to anyone who might know you, but I do have this one girlfriend in California that I tell everything to. You'll never meet her, of course, and she would never judge you, but we keep each other so up to date on the things we hear. It'll be OK if I tell her, right? I'll only tell her on my blog.
When I read your advice on dressing, my first inclination is resistance. But I pretty much hate resistance when I'm offering ideas, so maybe I shouldn't do that. I am certainly quick to cut people who always say "Yes, but" or "Can't because" out of my circles. Life is way too short for that. One reason I get along so well with Chris and Anand is that most of our humor is based on accepting whatever premise comes up and making it sillier. They always say "Yes, and". One of the many things I love about my sister is that her whole philosophy is "Can, somehow", and then she does.
I have to run, but ifwhen I get back to this, I'll outline some of the directions I could go with dressing stylier. In fact, I'll form a commission to study the problem and report back to Congress. The American people want me to be a problem solver, and in my administration, this will get solved right away.
