Re: The Book

Would you cool it? I’m not trying to bust your chops. I know you’ve got a lot going on right now. Hell, if I’d moved back to the States after a ten-year absence, and had to find a place to live, furniture to put in it, buy a car, etc., I’d be going stark raving mad.

Well, not really, since I’d just leave all that to my wife. But you don’t have a wife. So don’t worry about it.

Just, you know. If you could give me a rough idea of what you’re thinking about doing for your second book. That would be nice.

Hello. Aren’t you getting married the day after tomorrow? What are you doing ogling other men’s naked chests?

I’m getting married, but I’m not DEAD. My God, who knew that under that mild-mannered Oxford lurked a chest of such exquisite proportions? Did you notice the abs?

They were slightly hard to miss. Don’t you think he was showing them off just SLIGHTLY by ripping off his shirt and diving in like that? I mean, DIVING?

Well, he’s been working, while the rest of us were just out here lounging around. I think he just got frustrated and gave up, turned off the Blackberry, and went for it. I didn’t catch anything “stagey” about it.

Wow, look at him go. That’s a lot of laps. He must really be annoyed about something—or somebody— to be swimming that fast.

He’s ruining my afternoon of total relaxation. How can I relax when someone is exercising that hard in front of me? He’s making me feel guilty about all that pasta I had at lunch.

He’ll stop soon. Oh, see. There you go. Oh, look, how sweet. He’s coming to sit by YOU, Janie! Itold you he likes you. Maybe even as much as PETER does.
