Hey
I am really sad that Riggs died. I am sorry for your loss. I wish he could have pulled through.

He never got the chance to meet Olive and show her some sophisticated human behavior modification tricks. She hardly bothers me at all in the morning.

Even though you never call me, or visit, or write and rarely comment more than a few lines in the blog (which I only started doing as a way to get closer to you since you don't communicate or travel) and when you do it is usually sarcastic or trite. I want you to know that Riggs was lucky to have had your intervention in his life. The small amount of time I spent with him showed me that he really loved you and he was happy to be with you.

See how much I got out of a really short visit with you?

Now, it is November and you still haven't announced your imminent arrival. I have plans to attend Thanksgiving dinner with some extended "family" here in Oregon. I know you will be in Chicago for X-mass so I'll stop bothering you about visiting me. I guess we all make sacrifices.
Tell Jenn hi and wish her a happy Thanksgiving for me.
