Did Eli like the Earle Theater? And the wonderful music? It’s one of my favorite things to do when I’m in town, but I think it’s an acquired taste.

What were you wearing? That may have impacted his euphoria. I read that certain colors are more enlivening to certain men than others.

Love,

Penelope

PS: I’ll see you at the parade, but I’m going as Dorothy Gale. Who can turn down red, shiny slippers?

Penny-girl,

I will reiterate. There are moments when you do not have to copy me on emails.

Luke

PS: I’ll show up at the Book Parade as Tom Sawyer wearing a flannel shirt, jeans, and boots.

Luke, how is that any different than what you usually wear?
