Good morning from the west coast!

I thought you’d be happy to know that the flat-earthers have it all figured out.

Link to Instagram post: “Just did my own research. No curve. No spin. Just truth. They laughed at me when I said it was flat . . . but they won’t be laughing when they fall off the edge.”

I haven’t even had my coffee yet and you’re already up getting frothy on the internet. Impressive.

Also, why are you on the west coast??

Sorry, I realize now I forgot to mention I’m in a friend’s wedding in Oregon this weekend. All of the groomsmen are staying at a rental house together before the wedding (today) and for the next couple days. It’s why I couldn’t get together until next Friday.

Ahhh, okay that makes sense. I was wondering why you said next Friday but figured maybe you needed time to emotionally prepare for my charm.

I fear not even a month would be enough to prepare for something of that magnitude.

Correct. Isn’t it like 5am there?

It is, which means I’m the only one awake and this is why I logged into Instagram for the first time in like two months. Of course the first thing I see is flat earth nonsense.

The machine knows how to get you to engage.

Terrifying.

So for next Friday, I was thinking around 7 for dinner? I’ll make reservations somewhere that is able to accommodate the mass of your charm.

Sounds perfect.

Great. I’ll get all your info when I’m back in town.

I hear some activity downstairs in the kitchen so I’m going to see who’s up. Have a great weekend, Veronica, I’m really looking forward to next week.

Me too
