Hello. All is well. I've been writing fairly steadily since the New Year and the fills me with a lot of joy. So does the following. Don't read it if you're down on love at the moment.

So last night Brooke and I are watching the BBC Pride and Prejudice series on DVD, snuggled on the couch under a blanket. We take a break so I can get a drink or something, and it's taking a couple of minutes. Brooke comes out and she's really into the movie, so she wants to start it up again. So she starts doing the impatient dance, which is this: she leans her head back to one side, moves her feet almost in a gait in one place, and swings her torso from side to side, her arms swinging limp at her side. It's the most adorable thing I've ever seen in my life. Brooke points out that, since she's wearing long john pjs, she looks a bit like a mental patient when she's doing this. This is true.

I love this woman.
