Dear Ms. T, How I Met Your Son (continued)

So I unwrapped your present for me. Thank you. I kept the foot lotion for a long time and thought of you every time I lotion-ed my feet.

Protecting my feet is one of my priorities these days. Currently, I am losing one big toe nail and growing another big toe nail from scratch.

But in December 2006 there was an annual event called The Christmas Keg and it was at Kenji’s house this year. So I got a ride back into Austin and then met James, my canvassing brother at the keg party and that’s where I got to know Emily better. But after getting super drunk I left my bike at the party and drove James’s car home for him to my apartment off I35. He slept on my couch and the next day we drove all around Austin just smoking and being hungover and eventually getting pizza at something Mellow Mushrooms or something on the Loop in Austin.

It’s December 26, 2006.

In April 2007 I went on a cross train to Columbus, Ohio. I met another guy named the same name but with a ‘K’ and he is super cute too. I develop an immediate crush. He is so much cuter than the Austin boy. He plays the guitar, sings really well (usually Metallica) and we work well together at the campaign. Eventually, I go back to Austin and my town crush has heard about my flirting with the Ohio guitar guy and seems jealous but he doesn’t say anything of course because you know, he’s still married. Not to me - not yet.
