Friday Afternoon Pick Me Up

A virtual vault of words expressing the love two people had for each other. Beautiful. Throw away the key.
“She lived on the 82nd floor of the Hancock Center and started sending me daily e-mails, even after we’d seen each other earlier the same evening. Her love letters were poetic, idealistic and often passionate. I responded as a man and a lover. As a newspaperman, I observed she never, ever, made a copy-reading error. I saved every one of her letters along with my own, and have them encrypted on my computer, locked inside a file where I can’t reach them because the program and the operating system are now 20 years out of date. But they’re in there. I’m not about to entrust them to anyone at the Apple Genius Counter.”
— excerpt from Roger Ebert’s Roger Loves Chaz, a recollection of the life he shared and endured with his wife.
