Hi Ben,  

Hope the show ended up great for you guys.

Would you mind breaking down the last invoice (four objects) by object so I know the bill for each.  I'd like to send some dough.

Have a great thanksgiving if we don't talk before then--I'm leaving wed for Kentucky, then London.

Best to all,

Jeff

Let's plan to get together.  Maybe you'll come over to our humble little pad
and have a nice home-cooked meal.  Hillary is a really good cook.

I am sorry I didn't invite you to the wedding, Jeff.  I was going to and
then changed my mind when you seemed so stressed and hassled by your
work/travel schedule.  I didn't want you to feel obliged to travel if you
didn't want to.  I should have asked you your preference.  I hope you
understand.

I'm so glad you're okay, relatively speaking.  You're a great guy, Jeff, and
I hope that this experience helps you and me and everybody around us to
focus on what's actually important in our lives, and to be especially kind
to each other.

Please tell me when you're coming around

Warm Regards,
ben
