Sandbox

Dear Sadie,

Your sisters shouldn’t call you a motormouth. Even if – based on the two letters I’ve received from you – they might have a point. Just kidding. ??

Feel free to keep writing. I’m enjoying your letters. Being in the sandbox can get pretty boring. (An APO address is all I can give you now.) Your letters made me laugh. (I have got to see this Grotto sometime.) Laughing’s the only thing that keeps me going sometimes.

By the way, Pirate Black sucks as a code word. A code word should be a word you can add to an everyday conversation. I’m not sure how to add Pirate Black to a normal conversation, although you managed to tell me a whole story about him without any prompting. ??

The guys insist I ask you for a picture. Don’t feel obligated to send one, but I had to ask.

Take care,

Ben
