Charming

Bick says that J is charming. I agree. I like her.

He says she is because she put him on speaker-phone so he had to talk to both of us when he called today. I didn't have much to say. I did appreciate it that he called me a "handsome fellow"--very insightful man.

We had coffee with him one morning in Houston at that crazy place with the elevators. J couldn't sleep so she took me out. The smell of the coffee brought her straight into the little coffee shop in the lobby. At the time, he said she was amusing, endearing, and lovely. She just shook her head at him and drank her coffee. But while they were sitting there, he said something about how she says her words. In fact, they talked about talking for a long time.

So now, they're on the phone a lot, still about how she talks. Funny, huh? Because of him, she talks to me a lot. She always did talk to me some, but we really didn't need it. Now she speaks to me more, which I like just fine. He does use lots of sounds when he says words. I think she's doing it more, too. She told him that her friend Aim (I LOVE Aim) said to not say Cool Beans anymore. But her friend Robb said she should say Hot Porridge, instead. They practiced that one for almost five minutes. It was hysterical.

I don't think we'll actually ever be in the same place as Bick again. It's always later where he is than where we are--a bunch of hours later. But it looks like we'll be hearing from him a lot. I'll let you know when she really starts to sound like him. One thing about it, I'm not worried that she'll ever look like him...he's taller than her.
