Hello, Anne.

You're as beautiful outside as I knew you were inside. (Nice teeth!)

I truly wish I could be as open with my IRL self as you are, but because of where I live and things I've written, it's not a good idea. At least not yet. (For now I'm just a kindly old eccentric, caring for his elderly parents. I'm not ready to be seen as dangerous, and that could happen very suddenly.)

I'll carry your hug attached to my rainbow button so I'll always have it near, and never lose it. (The button fell off the other day, but I still have it.)

Thank you, Anne. A joy to know that we're part of the same world.
