I'm holding my thumbs hard for Christina and for you and for you both.

About comms: It's so underconsidered, underinvested-in, and generally treated as Fertile Blame Territory, while also being an area profound personal tenderness. I don't usually bother trying, but sometimes I deliver a little lecture on how a communication involves a source, an intended message, an encoding of it, its transmission over a channel, its arrival at reception equipment, and the interpretation of the signal that's arrived-- with error, ineptness, individual attributes like context, noise and loss t every stage.

I hate being patient.
