I think I love you.   You have expressed so many wonderful thoughts tonight
that I kept starting to write in my head, and then didn't have to.  So I could
merely cathart (theatrical cavorting) about in your verbiage.  (Uhm...I
especially liked it when you said my grad thoughts were "eloquant and
balanced."  But that doesn't mean I'm biased towards you at
all...uhm...well...o.k. maybe a little biased tonight.  But I had that rough
"first night running the whole damn thing...and did we actually decide to do
THAT...well let's change it!" night of rehearsal.  Noone was calling me
eloquant OR balanced tonight!)  Suffice to say, you have brought me joy.
Thank you.
