My most beautiful wife and the light of my eyes and el fuego de mi corazón, I want to take a moment to explain this little scrip of paper before you find it on a dresser somewhere. It says, in my handwriting:
Melanie Thomas
(314) xxx-xxxx
meet Thurs. night
That’s Melanie at Thomas Construction regarding the work we’re about to have done. We should call her back to give her some additional information or to schedule an evening meeting.
(Am I the only spouse out there who preemptively explains his phone message shorthand when it involves a woman?)
