You realize of course that my smart-ass reference to the "rules" (female
guide to dating) was in fact my subtle way of mocking a large subset of your
gender (or as some would say the weaker sex) --- present company excluded of
course.

Ted,

My day is going quite well, actually. I managed to sleep in past 6:30 a.m.
this morning and did not work-out so I'm feeling pretty good. I'm not sure
if I'll be able to respect you in the light of your "rule-breaking", but I'm
going to try to look past that. I'm heading to lunch right now - yes, I am
actually leaving the building - so the day just keeps getting better and
better. As for last night, I had a really good time too and am glad you were
able to look past my bad manners and agree to go out Friday. Talk to you
soon.

Susan

Shorty,

I hope your day is going well and your trader and thus you are having a good
day. I just realized that I broke the "rules" last night. I should say no
to a Friday night out when asked out on Wednesday night but I'll let it go
this time because we are going country and you are breaking out the t-shirt
and jeans. When I think about it, that exception applies to every
situation. I had fun last night and I think you will be relieved to know
that I can't get my huge belt buckle on order and shipped in time for
tomorrow so you are in the clear.

Ted
