Dear friend,
As I prepare to go skiing, here is an ego boost I just got. I looked up a word that my friend Jeff used to describe me, mensch: A person having admirable characteristics, such as fortitude and firmness of purpose: "He radiates the kind of fundamental decency that has a name in Yiddish; he's a mensch" (James Atlas). I can see myself in that, but fuck, I wish things would be easy to achieve. You know, so my fortitude would not be tested so much.
Yours,
