Would you like to get coffee [tomorrow] at, like 8? And then we can go to the market?
I know the market's less busy earlier but I honestly don't know if I can
get up at like 5:30.

Hmm. I usually go to Fair Trade - the one on the corner of State Street at

They're nice there.

Oh sure. I love to watch others flirt.
See you there at 8. I may show up a little earlier and jot down ideas.

I think I demonstrated what it means to fall asleep in mid-sentence last night!
Thanks again
