…who very well-intention-edly, I’m sure, told me years ago on what were fairly early dates (and, it turned out, also late ones) that I didn’t have to shave my legs anymore, that they wouldn’t mind if I didn’t, “would still touch them,” etc.:
Well, thanks. And I won’t mind if you stop showing up for work, though I’ve assumed you had your own reasons for doing so thus far.
Warmly, Janet Burns
