To the most esteemed members of the Judaii Diaspora.

(The Chancellor, The Ambassador, and now Baby Judaii.)

I miss you all. Each of you separately. And all of you corporately.

Michal, I hate feeling so disconnected from you because you're all the way in Kentucky (I don't care what you say, you're in Kentucky). I know grad school has been rough on you, and that kinda makes me nervous for my own grad school aspirations, but I miss being able to talk to you and hang out with you whenever I want. I really regret that while you were here in San Ho for almost a year, I didn't take every opportunity to spend time with you. I look forward to seeing you when you're here later this summer. And thank you for the European candy. We enjoyed it very much.

Katie, we (the HP and I) already feel the loss of the Baby Judaii. Now, we won't be able to say "KAATIE!" as often as we like and have it mean something because you're there. Come back to us soon.

Alecia, I haven't talked to you in weeks, and that feels like far too long. I wish we were the kind of people who talked every day, because that's how much I need and love your company and perspective and creativity and everything else. But I know that we aren't, and that's okay because whenever we do talk again or see each other once more, it's as though no time has passed and everything is the same. I love that about us. But I wish all the time that we could see each other more often. Rosie and I want you and Baby Judaii to come up here when Michal is here in August. How was Sara Bareilles? Was it everything we dreamed it would be?

If the Ambassador and the Viceroy come to San Ho in August while the CRD is here as well, it would be the very first true Reunion of the High Council of the Judaii. And that would be just about the most wonderful thing in the world.
