Dear Chris

Dear Chris,
This is Gracie. I appreciated the note. I’m a little surprised
at some of your thoughts. You don’t think I can read? That
I don’t think and wonder in regards to your strange habits?
That I don’t cringe and run at the sound of that racket you play
with your friends on those instruments??!! Don’t worry, I don’t
hold it against you that you didn’t leave
enough food out for me one night. Obviously I took care of
things by helping myself to the entire bag. Just a side note
though, if you continue to say my name with a lisp because
you think its funny, I might just have to continue to keep
missing the litter box.
Love, “Grathie”

dear gracie,
i know, this is strange, writing to you. maybe its partly due to a lot of time with just us two hanging out. and thats cool and all, dont get me wrong. but i thought id just jot a note down to you. sometimes i wonder about what you might be thinking at times. do you wonder where it is i go when i head out the door and dont come home for hours later? (by the way im really sorry for that time several weeks ago when i spent an unexpected night out and hadn’t left you enough food.) do you have a concept of time? are there times when youre thinking, “he sure has been gone a long time. i wonder when that door is going to open up again and reveal him.” do you ever get hot in the house and complain to yourself about why im insisting on “no A/C ’08?” do you dislike when i have band practice at the house? do you wake me early in the morning sometimes just for fun?  do you sometimes think of jami and want to see her? well, im not sure why im asking these questions. in fact im a bit surprised that i actually sat down to write this to you.  hope you are enjoying living here cuz i appreciate the company.
chris
ps. band practice tomorrow at 6pm. just a heads up.
