I MAY have traumatized him
he responded back
SOMETHING like
I just wanted him to know you
because you are one of my
HEROES
I'm like
I don't understand why I would be
one of your heroes
& I'm not saying
I have any
objection
to getting to know him
BUT
I'm sure I told you when I visited in 2007
how burnt out from it I was
& how I had just
NOT gone BACK from a leave of absence
& ANYWAY
I'm sure I never told you I liked it
I'm not trying to be difficult or rude
I just don't want to avoid
responding to protect
EVERYONE else
anymore
