Logically...

Hey Jason,

You know somehow I thought I would have seen you again by now. Either I would have come out there or you would have visited here (which you may have). For some reason I have not had the chance. I have been watching a lot of startrek lately on Netflix. I know you must be wondering what that has to do with anything, well here goes. I have always struggled to classify what it is about your personality that made me like talking to you so much. And I think startrek has helped me here. In the startrek world there always seems to be atleast one or two ballast characters. Be it holographic doctors, or Vulcan navigation officers, androids, or what have you these characters are a the happy median balance of the crew. They are always cordial, thoughtful, and precise in their speaking. While they tend on the whole to be rather unemotional, it is not because they lack them, it is more that they play their emotions close to their vest. When other folks are on other ends of the spectrum you were always a great, reliable beacon of calm. I have pushed your buttons a few times to see if you would react, and a couple of times you did, but I counted it a success when your temper rose slightly above tepid, so it was a small victory.

In either case, all Trekkie nonsense aside, I do very much miss that. You were an extreme rarity at the café, a great sounding board, and a cool head. While a majority of the people there (myself included) were more or less shit tossing primates. I will obviously make my way to the big city someday; I just hope I can do it before you and Emily forget who the hell I am.

I don’t think we have chatted on facebook, and I am fairly sure you never use it, or do so infrequently, so no biggie in losing that. I will be catching up with you on the flipside.

Today was a great day, but tomorrow our FBfriendship will end,

Curt
