What's very weird is that  --  for us  --  this can seem like the longest day of the year.  Not much to do.  No one, even on Facebook!  Gee...  and suddenly, I was thinking of Wry.  I was one of the people on the AOL Screenwriting message boards, way, way back when.   And I loved that guy!!

The thing is, I can't believe this all happened.  We're taking three or four years, now.  In fact, when I somehow  --  randomly  --  found out, I kept thinking, 'Jim Morrison.'  He's punking us.  Wry was someone I talked to on the phone randomly, e-mailed more consistently, and seemed to love, pretty intensely.  I was shocked  --  finding this out, now seeming so long ago.  We always had this joke that we'd never actually met, although there was an AOL lunch or two I'd attended, that he threatened to show up at.  The joke was, that it was better this way, because now I can always imagine that the guy in Walgreen's is him, since we'd never met, face to face.  Weirdly, I find myself doing it, every so often, still.

Funny.  Not so funny, I've had breast cancer this year which seems to have had a pretty good outcome.  Maybe that's what I was thinking about today, that I'd liked to have told him about it, because he would have made a good joke.  Even though it was maybe a year after the last email we'd exchanged, I still never had a thought about why I'd never heard from him.  It was that random.  

Was expecting to hear Bruce here, and the Michael Jackson just threw me.  Not sure what I was looking for, today, but just wanted to send him and you a hug.  Jodi hugssssss
