Don't fuck this up.

Dear Kate, Do you remember what you were doing on June 10, 2004? You weren't doing anything, really. It was a slow day, like most other summer vacation days, with nowhere to go and nothing to do. You'll probably bake some more of that bread that you made yesterday, since it was so good and both loaves are almost gone already. You'll probably try to read some more of Gravity's Rainbow, si...

Nervous but enthused

Last week you did it. Hehe. You fucking did it, man. So, now that a whole year has gone by, have you done it more? Have you been on the prowl, looking for the right one?

In one year, h...
