A Recent Email From A Friend

Sent while today’s Packers/Giants game was on.

DAMN! Sorry to miss you — but let me know when you’re leaving; I may be able to catch you before you depart.

I’m in Shanghai right now watching Packers / Giants at the home of a Mergers & Acquisitions lawyer. He’s got action on the game and keeps standing up and leaving the room. His teenage daughter is at the dining room table, slicing up an orange into extremely small pieces, commenting only when ads come on for Napoleon Dynamite (disapproves) or New Girl (approves). It’s cold and rainy and it smells like dog and oatmeal. John Kuhn has just lost the first fumble of his career.

We may be on some kind of delay.
