Back to Salsa
I received another insightful communication from my girl Webster this morning.  Fortune truly is
smiling upon me.  I must have been Mother Theresa in my previous life or something.  Anyway,
here we go:

This is Webster here in Belgian how is everyone there tell [HR Director's name, misspelled]
that I have received my W-2 and thanks again,I will chat later pimpin.

Wester
[No, she doesn't actually refer to herself as Webster, but she did manage to misspell
her own name]

Have a bless day!!!!! [Man, I'm glad she added that fifth exclamation point.  Five is so much
more convincing than a measly three or four]

I responded with:

Hi Webster,

Glad you got your W-2 okay.  It was good hearing from you as always.  Hey, how have your
kids been adjusting to European life?

Well, take it easy, I'll talk to you later!

This morning, I found this in my in-box:

The kids are all adjusting fine and my son haven't lay down the smack yet but my oldest
daughter already lay down a little US smack down on two girls at the same time.She pick up a
chair and hit one girl over the head split her forehead    and the other girl eye was split in the
corner
[that's one thirteen year-old I wouldn't want to run into in a dark alley (or furniture store,
for that matter)]
.  

Sorry for any mistake in my spelling
[ironically, this e-mail doesn't have any spelling mistakes,
although grammatical errors abound]
getting ready for meeting talk to you later,tell everyone I
said hey and take care.

After carefully considering my options, I wrote back:

Wow, I wouldn't want to run into her in a dark alley :)!  Take care of yourself over there and
don't be a stranger.  

Her response?

I wont be a stranger and tell everone have a wonderful Valentine's Day and share the joy with
the one you love especially you Mr. Brian sweet dreams do come true.

Webster

Excuse me while I bawl like a baby.  Webster just taught me the true meaning of Valentine's
Day.
