Open Letter to a Partner

September 6, 2009

Oh, Beau…I find myself on weekends singing snippets of “…lookie lookie lookie-ee-eee…!”
or leading my family in a chorus of “Yeaaaah”‘s at the end of important sentences we utter, complete with a Solid Gold toss of the feathered hair.

I think the most important thing you have as an adult is a network of trusted allies. I found very early on that I could express myself completely to you – no sense in posturing around you, you call my bluff every time. 😛 As I do you.

I am willing to share with the Internet how much your dedication, tenacity, and peacocking about the office impact my professional life. And also, on a personal note, you have the best sense of humour of anyone I know – and that’s saying a lot, because I know a ton of funny mofos – so thank you for letting me feel comfortable enough to expess my inner child right alongside YOU.
