Hello, Jesse.

Katie, I am presently recovering from yet another in a decades-long line of

embarrassments.

Another ski trip?

Well, no, I did not get lost in the woods.

I'm hoping that was a one type thing.

Something even worse happened. Worse than having to call 911 because... ski trip? Well, no, I did not get lost in the woods. I'm hoping that was a one type thing. Something

even worse happened. Worse than having to call 911 because you accidentally skied out of bounds.

Yeah, it's actually worse than that. And it was, I was surprised at the embarrassment. So I don't think

I'm betraying any confidences here. Noted racist Mike Peska hosted a poker game the other night.

And it said, we're going to start around seven.

I walked to where he lived.

It was a long walk, but I wanted some exercise.

I approached his door.

I pressed the doorbell, looked out of my phone.

It is seven o'clock on the dot.

And I am filled with shame because

you're on time. I didn't realize how embarrassing that is. That's incredibly embarrassing.

Yeah, how could you do that? I don't know. I didn't time it right. It was cold out. But like,

until I had actually done that, I didn't realize how embarrassing it is to be exactly on time for

something. What is that? Why is it? Is it the

implication that I have absolutely nothing else going on? And I was just waiting all day to play Pascoe with Mike poker?
