just thinking about him made me feel weak. I wondered what I was going to do

about the way I was starting to feel when I was around him.

I also wondered how long I can keep hiding him from my parents. And how long

he’ll be staying at that house. Winters in Maine are unbearably cold and he won’t

survive without a heater.

Or blankets.

I gathered myself and went in search of all the spare blankets I could find. I was

going to give them to him when he got out of the shower, but it was already five and

he left in a hurry.

I’ll give them to him tomorrow.

Dear Ellen,

Harry Connick Jr. is freaking hilarious. I’m not sure if you’ve ever had him on

your show, because I hate to admit I’ve probably missed an episode or two since

you’ve been on the air, but if you’ve never had him, you should. Actually, have you

ever watched Late Night with Conan O’Brien? He has this guy named Andy

who sits on the couch for every episode. I wish Harry could sit on your couch for

every episode. He just has the best one-liners, and the two of you toget.her would be

epic.

I just want to say thank you. I know that you don’t have a show on TV for the

sole purpose of making me laugh, but sometimes it feels that way. Sometimes my life

just makes me feel like I’ve lost the ability to laugh or smile, but then I turn on your

show and no matter what mood I’m in when I turn on the TV, I always feel better by

the time your show is over.

So yeah. Thanks for that.

I know you probably want an update on Atlas, and I’ll give you one in a second.

But first I need to tell you about what happened yesterday.

My mother is a teaching assistant over at Brimer Elementary. It’s a bit of a drive

and that’s why she never gets home until around five o’clock. My dad works two

miles from here, so he’s always home right after five.

We have a garage, but only one car can fit in it because of all my dad’s stuff. My

dad keeps his car in the garage and my mom keeps her car in the driveway.

Well, yesterday my mom got home a little bit early. Atlas was still at the house

and we were almost finished watching your show when I heard the garage door start

to open. He ran out the back door and I rushed around the living room cleaning up

our soda cans and snacks.
