I've discovered something horrifying.

Since getting here, I've been staying in a hotel and paying with whatever cash I have on me. (This, I guess, should've been my first clue. I have a lot more on hand than I used to.) I was honestly afraid to look at my ID.

So I am relaxing on the couch in the suite I've been staying in, wondering why the bellhop keeps coming to the door with free room service. I feared maybe I was a politician. (Nothing against you guys if there are any politicians reading this, it's just that politics is not my style at all.) I developed several theories. Maybe I was just a very frequent guest of this hotel, and they were rewarding my loyalty by providing me free room service, even when I haven't asked for the food or the drinks they bring. Maybe I was an assassin that had serviced a prominent member of the hotel staff, and thus get to make use of room service for free. (Not that I can see myself killing people for money, but it at least explained the free room service.) Maybe I was just really, really lucky.

So I was watching a movie while relaxing. It was a harmless movie, despite the star of it recently becoming a little bit of a nutjob. I actually liked this movie.

Mission: Impossible. (Some of you will be able to see where I am going with this.)

So I'm watching, and I'm enjoying it, right? And then Ethan Hunt reveals himself on screen, and who do I see? I do not see that wacky, couch-jumping spokesman for Scientology.

I see myself.

To be honest, I think it's far more noble of you the way you're doing it. Some people would just pretend, which isn't fair.

Maybe. I still feel guilty about doing it, but I don't feel like I have much choice, y'know?

Exactly. The alternative is a lot worse.

Is it? I would be the only one suffering in that alternative. Isn't one person suffering better than two people suffering?

I just...I can't help but feel guilty about it, no matter how rational it seems.

But aren't our personalities different than the other people? I'd think that they'd notice, which would be awkward in and of itself.

Katie already has, actually. Suri is a little too young to really notice it, which I'm thankful for. I don't want to have to explain why daddy is acting weird.

Well, I wish you luck in whatever you do. I really hope it all works out.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm actually surprised at how supportive people are being. I don't generally think of the internet when I think of "supportive".
