[Private to Robb]
Once, last summer. I think I mentioned to you in passing. Though, out of respect for him I could not bring myself to do it that way. Too important a conversation to have over the telephone. I believe it must be done face to face. Even if the news lands poorly, he will respect that.
And I am not looking for a response, Robb. Just trying to be more open and honest with you. Of all the people in my life these are things you should know. All of them, good and bad. And whereas I cannot say your admission helps at all under this particular issue, I am grinning like a mad fool.
