The Budget of Paradox

Sophia,

It’s your Nana Lee’s birthday today. You should call her.

Joe, Nana Lee, your mom, me, Maddie Dog, Pearl Dog, and Blythe Dog celebrate my birthday in the year 2000.

I’m good at remembering dates. I have always had a good memory. I remember the birthday of my first girlfriend in high school. I remember license plates of cars that I owned years ago. And old phone numbers. I remember your mother’s Social Security Number. I’m just good at remembering numbers. Anyway, I remember Nana Lee’s birthday. There’s no real reason; I just do.

I even know the TIME you were born. And your sister, too.

I hope you’re having a nice summer. But I watch the weather in Lynchburg and I know it’s hot and humid. I hope you’re staying cool somewhere.

Love,
Dad
