Noodle,
Daddy and I met with a Ms. Lydia and her boyfriend Stu today for dinner. She is the executive director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife---a state organization I have been trying to get my foot in the door at since I moved to your motherland. I didn't know what to expect because she was doing me a huge favor meeting up with me. Words can't describe how wonderful the experience was. Her and Stu were the most positive, encouraging, content, excited, happy, non-cynical people I have met in a very long time. Not only did they dispense wonderful advice, talk to me about available (paid) internships, and generally provide lots of laughs, but they PAID for dinner! Incredible. It was so refreshing to meet such kind strangers and be brought to them by good fortune. Chris and I hope we have met not only a possible future employer for me, but also good friends.
We went swimming when we got home. Daddy carried me in pool from end to end and we both simultaneously thought that the slow steps that resonated from his walk were like a giant in a desert.
Love you.
