We went to a dinner party last weekend that was fun. We had such a fun time at the

dinner party. Yeah so this was a some mutual friends through dinner party and

actually I wanted to relate this to you which is that you have made me a better

person in this one very specific way because

when we were pulling up to the dinner party I realized that we had come empty-handed.

And the thing about you, Casey, is that you never show up empty-handed.

I really try not to.

You always bring a bottle of wine, some flowers, you are a very considerate guest.

And I thought, well, Casey's going to bring something. So I have to bring something. So, you know, we ducked into the nearest store and bought a little bottle of something to drink, and I felt better. So thank you.

Well, that's wonderful. You you know there have actually been a

couple of times recently where I did show up empty-handed somewhere and then

immediately after walking the door I thought what does it matter with me?

And the main thing that sticks out in my mind is that when I met my

boyfriend's parents I did this and you showed up empty-handed? I showed up

empty-handed but there was a good reason I thought in my mind at the time

which was well it's Father's Day and for

whatever reason it just seemed weird to bring a gift of Father's Day.

You know like it could have been a bottle of wine it could have been. Like this was not actually a problem but in my

mind I had some sort of mental block that was like I truly do not know what to bring my

boyfriend's father on Father's Day on the day that I am meeting him.

Yeah. And then I walked in there and then I immediately, you feel completely naked.

It's like, well, what have I done?
