...how effective properly-arranged, large amounts of pillows could be. Months ago.

Also. Esther. I know I told you about how much it bothered me, not to know my mother's name. Now I do.

... but whenever you do see this, please try and remember what I said?

I won't ask you again to tell me whether or not it was a request. If for no other reason than the fact that I should be able to figure that out myself. I am a mindreader, after all.

He's sleeping! He just sort of tugged me closer and I hit send by mistake, yeesh!

Saul and Esther. Huh.

It still doesn't change who you are and who you choose to be.

Subject: I'm just teasing you...

I am, after all, a mean old man.

As Remy pointed out, they sound oddly Jewish. From what I remember, they didn't look it, either. And in any case, Old Testament names were all the rage in the commune... I think. I remember... well, a few things. I wish sometimes I had more memories from those years than I do.

I know it doesn't. All it does is open up a few doors, and I'd have been thrown for less of a loop if I was less ambiguous about knowing what's on the other side.
