starting to move


I (Justin) started packing today in earnest, which meant a lot of clothes/books/things needed to be thrown out or given to the brown elephant (thrift store). Pecos was confused by the commotion.

Justin,
right now, as I type, I am holding your wife hostage. SO FAR she has not been hurt. But she can be rather clumsy and I can't promise anything for the future. Do not attempt to find us because I am very elusive and move around a lot. I also have a small, but rather fierce black beast that your stumpy, mexican friend will be no match for guarding Kate. My demands are thusly: I would like your guarantee, in writing, that you will return from Germany within a respectable amount of time (2-3 years seems reasonable to me). None of this, "well, I think we're going to stay crap."
I expect your response posthaste.

Ha. You're embarrassing yourself with your vague threats and empty requests. First, I neither negotiate with terrorists nor do I frighten easily. Second, my wife is far more clever than clumsy and I'm sure she'll outwit, outsmart, or outlast you because she's motivated by something much more powerful than the drooly jaws of your inbred beast. She's motivated by love - love for my furry Mexican friend, who, while stumpy, is more fierce than even Tyra Banks. Third, your note alludes to something humorous - something that I, as husband, have had to quickly come to terms with. That is that I have power in this marriage. Don't fool yourself. Ironically, the power to grant your request is decided by the "hostage" that you hold.
