advice.

this is carol next to a tree in hampden, which we thought fit our tastes perfectly. i needed carol to "hug me" over the telephone last night, so i dialed this little lady and told her i had a problem...

me : (very concerned) flannel and i have been fighting the last few days.
c : (very concerned) why??
me : i love her too much and i can't stop trying to pick her up.
c : (laughing really hard) well, does she like to be picked up?
me : not really.

such simple advice. i really thought maybe i loved flannel too much for a day or two. i have to remember that flannel is not walking around with a shirt that says "hug me" on it. thanks, ro.
