Dear Susanne,

It is so hot and humid that I'm sticking not only to myself but to the entire city of Chicago. can barely think in this heat much less flow through traffic (***angry traffic*** people have no patience for cyclists when there's a 103 heat index). I hope you're staying cool.

Can you imagine life before A/C?

I think I would have worked in an ice-house.

I'm filled with thoughts of you . . .

(I know, I've tried to restrain myself from writing but there/here it is)

snapshots:

• O Sole Mio over Shrimp Casalinga and Vigna di Pian Rosso in our gondola
  
• The mindblowing connexion to Regine (the bitch [excuseme])
  
• The cut of your black dress, the candlelight dancing shadows across the nape of your neck, your bare shoulderblades as you turned towards the waiter and ordered the Veal Piccata.
  
• Laughter over Tiramisu.
  
• Splattering cappuccino across my shirtcuff, distracted by the events on the immanent horizon
  
• The doorman with the comically raised eyebrow.
  
• Your exquisite taste in lingerie.
  
• The first time.
  
• Your love of the unusual, the daring, the
  
• second time.
  
• The idyll of spooning.
  
• and again, more slowly this time.
  
• Our fingers brushing as we hailed separate cabs in the haze of the earlymorningnight.

LET's DO IT AGAIN SOON
there I've said it.

I think we have a lot in common and that that which we don't have in common delights.

No pressure, just to say it was wonderful, and I would be evergrateful for its recurrence.

Also I hope the flowers weren't too much.

But god am I dying to see you again.
