hey greg i just came downstairs and noticed that you left your time on the cellphone i’m sure you tomorrow one but i wanted to give you the heads up love you talk to you later honey bye

The Greg reference is correct. She calls me Greg, I call her Helen. I guess you’ve got to be there for that inside joke.

It is never casual Friday on TV. I went searching for a tie. A few of my more organized co-workers actually keep spares. I probably should too. I borrowed a nice tie from Ted.
