Something else I need to get off my chest.

Recently I?ve lost a couple of people who were very close to me.

That made me rethink a lot of things.

Plus, my specialty can be kind of rough on the psyche.

Especially seeing the kids across the street at shriners. Anyone who thinks they have a tough life hasn?t taken a walk through a pediatric burn ward and visited with those poor kids.

Anyway, all that made me pretty introspective.

And so I promised myself that i?d do what my friend-Carl Crantz was his name – said before he passed: to live every day like it?s the last.

Sorry. You asked… (smile) -A Now Payne was crying. He turned his head so Tony Harris wouldn’t see.

And how the hell do I respond to that?

What a wonderful woman…

After a moment, he thought, Well, when in doubt, tell the truth.

He texted: i?m speechless. that, like you, was beautiful. thanks for sharing. -matt A second later, his phone vibrated:

609-555-6221

Matt?!? Oh no! Wrong Payne!

I thought I was texting my therapist!

Just kidding (smile) I meant it for you. -A He grinned. Then he had a thought and really grinned broadly as he typed: cute. just so you know, my favorite part was where you mentioned your chest… (big grin)
