Subject: WOW
IT SURE IS IMPORTANT TO YOU TO KNOW WHAT NIGHT ME AND MAX WERE AT HIS
AUNT'S, HUH?
DID YOUR DRY CLEANER LOSE A SWEATER OF YOURS THAT DAY OR SOMETHING? I
HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS. I REALLY WISH I COULD REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS
EXACTLY, SO I COULD HELP YOU.
OH WAIT. I KNOW THERE WAS SOME KIND OF PLAYOFF GAME, BECAUSE ALL THE CARS
THAT WENT BY WHILE I WAS WAITING IN THE CAR, THEY HAD THE GAME ON. AND WE
WERE LOSING, SO EVERYBODY WAS REALLY MAD. OH, AND THERE WAS NO DOORMAN.
IT WAS WEIRD, BECAUSE MAX JUST WALKED RIGHT IN, AND NOBODY STOPPED HIM.
BUT WHILE HE WAS GONE THIS CHINESE FOOD DELIVERY MAN CAME, AND HE LOOKED
ALL AROUND THE LOBBY FOR THE DOORMAN, SO HE COULD CALL UP TO THE PEOPLE HE
WAS DELIVERING TO AND TELL THEM HE WAS COMING. THE REASON I NOTICED WAS
BECAUSE THE CHINESE FOOD DELIVERY MAN WAS WEARING ACID WASHED JEANS,
WHICH ARE SO TOTALLY EIGHTIES, BUT I GUESS IF YOU ARE AN IMMIGRANT YOU
WOULDN'T KNOW THAT. AND I WAS THINKING WE SHOULD REALLY START SOME
KIND OF EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR THE IMMIGRANTS SO THEY WOULD KNOW WHAT
TO WEAR, SO AS NOT TO STAND OUT SO MUCH.
KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE YOU KNOW HOW CHRISTIE AND NAOMI AND CINDY
STARTED THE FASHION CAFE?
I WAS THINKING I COULD START LIKE A FASHION SCHOOL, FOR PEOPLE WHO COME TO
NEW YORK FROM CHINA AND HAITI AND THE MIDWEST AND STUFF. ANYWAY, FINALLY
MR. ACID WASHED JEANS FOUND HIM—THE DOORMAN, I MEAN--AND GOT BUZZED UP.
THEN THE DOORMAN WENT AWAY AGAIN, AND RIGHT THEN MAX CAME DOWN, AND
THE TWO OF US LEFT. DOES THAT HELP?

Subject: Your aunt
Dear Mr. Friedlander,
Your aunt is in the ICU, which means she can't have visitors. Ever. In fact, they get mad
if you even ask if you can visit people who are in the ICU. Because people who are in
the ICU are in very, very unstable condition, and the slightest germ from the outside
world might make them worse. So not only are there no visitors allowed, but the room is
constantly monitored for movement with motion detectors, so even if you tried to sneak
in there, you would get caught right away. So I wouldn't even try to go visit your aunt.
Sorry. But I bet if you sent a card, they'd show it to her when she wakes up.
