 Maura,

Well, well, well…There I am in a hotel room in LA, having run back from a bunch of meetings in time to catch the game…and there you were. I felt like running out into the hallways and telling people, “She’s my friend. Isn’t she great?!” And you were great! It was one of the most rousing renditions (of The national Anthem) that I ever heard. You were super…and I’d say that if I didn’t know you…
