From the Little Asian Cornfield

I wish I had a picture to show you of me and Kristen yesterday in all our super sweaty and utterly exhausted glory as we stood guard over hot dogs and macaroni for a good five hours and got paid for it. It was Africa hot. We talked about all the places we're going to take you when you get home. I can't remember any of them, but good times will be had.

So what does the 'Africa hot' really mean?

I'm leaving for Kauai tomorrow! When I get back, SO WILL YOU! ONE WEEK ONE WEEK ONE WEEK ONE WEEK ONE WEEK ONE WEEEEEEK and I hope your mom makes pie.

We ended with birds...

Daniel, you are amazing! Thank you sooooooooo much for calling. Seriously awesome birthday present. I worked at this incredibly boring catering gig yesterday, where I stocked beverages for like 1 hour out of the 7 hours I was there, but everytime I thought to myself, "Hudson called!" I smiled :) You know how to make a sweet birthday. Sarah does too; we had a blast eating cheesecake and catching up with Megan and Mandy. I love that picture.
Go conquer the Nile!
See you in less than 2 weeks

Holler (my grandma says that all the time)

Hudson.

You are a STUD for myriad reasons, not the least of which include phone calls from one hemisphere to the next.

Also, are you sending your mother enough love? Your mom's friend was visiting my mom today in our kitchen during my lunch break and she told me to call your mom. . .Tell your mom's friend to tell your mom that I am going to call her tomorrow.

Not going to class anymore is a sweet deal.

I played cribbage and had some rooibos last night. Add work and Harry Potter and you pretty much have my life. Wait, not true--I am being an active citizen. Via biting and pointed (and very anonymous) essays directed at a certain Asian city's department of human resources, I am battling the injustices of the employed and underpaid youth at a certain pool. I would tell you more, but there is almost certainly a warrant out for the untimely demise of the author of those letters. Truthfully, I am not even personally affected by this particularly nasty breach of California law; I'm just doing it out of spite for The Man.

What do you want to do first and second and third when you get back??

(11 DAYS! Save me some Nile.)
