awkward memory:

Writing Emily's friend Maryka a postcard about depression while they were living in Oakland. It included bible verses, one of which was from choronicles and so was a reference to a family name. So I was trying to be funny, I guess. I called to speak to Emily about the time Maryka would have already received the post card and Maryka answered. I asked if she got it. She said yes, thank you. And I said are you still dealing with depression? She said she was, that it was something she deals with. And I said, "Because I was worried you'd be fine by the time you got the postcard and then it would have been pointless."

Please shoot me.
