Hi Erin! Hi Sweetie! How are you feeling today? I pray you are feeling great. I'm sitting here writing this letter while waiting for them to call the sunset prayer. I had one steak left, so I just cooked it up and now it's sitting, waiting for me to cut it up after I finish prayer, to be eaten with a tortilla and some of my Mom's "rendang" sauce. I chopped down some trees over at your house inshaAllah, so I have to burn them down not just to get them out of the way, but also to generate soil. So I saved all the soil that was in the fire pit, so tomorrow I can burn all that stuff down. It takes a lot of organic matter to make soil. I have been generating soil since May, and I got 20 gallons of dirt. That's 40 young mangoes.
Well, I'm sure you are doing well with your career, so praise be to Allah. I want you to know that I love you, and I need you. Please take good, loving care of yourself in my absence.

Hey there, my beautiful Erin! How does it feel to be the most beautiful girl in the world? All those other girls are so jealous of you, huh? I didn't want to get involved in supermodel politics, but you are MY girl, and I want to take care of you. And since you are MY girl, that makes you the most beautiful girl in the world to me. Those other girls look like men to me. I guess that's the advantage of being a male chauvinist pig, is that I like what I like, and I don't need to explain why. So don't let them sway you with their jealousy, and rest assured that I love you and I need you. Ya Allah, please protect my Erin.
I spent the evening chopping trees around your house inshaAllah. A tree is a very heavy object. Have you ever tried to lift one? I could only manage the skinny trees just now. There are a couple of huge trees that need to come down, but I will need the pros to take those down with chainsaws from the top down, as opposed to my hacking it at the trunk and not knowing where it's going to fall. Actually there's a whole lot of trees I want to remove, because I want to build a brick wall. Like Pink Floyd, I suppose.
My Dad gave me a whole chicken the other day. Well it was chopped into smaller pieces, but not the usual cut I normally get. I prefer white meat. So after portioning it out and separating the meat from the bones, I had the liver, stomach and feet left. I gave the feet to the cats, I threw away the stomach, and I had to use the liver immediately. So for dinner, I chopped up the liver and mixed it with chopped Thai peppers, garlic, turmeric, salt and pepper. I made 2 hash brown pancakes, and sandwiched the liver mix between them. It was OK. It would have been perfect, but I used too much salt. Oh well.

Ugh, I ate too much chili. Too much of anything is too much (The Who). I love chili, but I ate too much, plus tortillas. So I woke up this morning feeling sick. It's a good thing I didn't throw up, because that would have invalidated my fast. Good chili, though. Alhamdulillah. But I'm not having it for dinner. It's noodles instead. Snapper roe in anchovy broth, with garlic, seaweed, roasted peppers and bamboo shoots.
And how are you today, my love? How's life at the top? I'm sure you are doing fine. You're a very competent person with a good heart. I want you to always know that I am with you. I love you, and I need you.

Hi Erin! Hiya Sweetheart! Mwah! How are you today, my love? Oh, supermodel politics. I'll stay out of it, OK? I just made a batch of chili. I got tired of my chili not being hot enough, so I had a heaping handful of Thai peppers, and threw the whole lot in there without dicing it up or anything. Yeah, good harvest today. I'll be fasting, so I need chili because it's quick and easy and filling. After you cook it the first time, that is. And yeah, it was finally hot enough, but after I ate it, it wasn't hot enough. We want that heat to linger! But I don't think my garden can produce more peppers at a time like it did tonight. I need to plant more, I suppose. Hey Erin, I want you to know that YOU are MY girl, OK? And that's my choice. I love you, and I need you.

Hi Erin. How are you feeling right now? I pray that you are feeling healthy and confident. You are MY girl, and I want all the best for you. I want you to know that you are not alone, you don't have to face them alone, because I am with you. I may be in the shadows, but I am there, and always thinking of you. You are the love of my life, and I need you.
Floofy is in heat right now. Which is not a big deal, because there's always somebody in heat in my house. She's not a howler like the other two. She hasn't been eating much, because she throws it up. She needs to be embraced, so I do that for her, and hopefully it's enough. These cats like to plant their menses right where I can step on it. Why is that? Why can't they just use the cat box? The favorite targets are my bedroom door, the toilet door, and the bathroom door, and one spot in the middle of the living room where I have to walk around the other spots in order to avoid them. Does that make sense? I'm vigilant with the mop, but I am at my most vulnerable when I just wake up for the dawn prayer. I love my cats dearly, but I do have other things to do. This evening I did some burning. I need to get as much burning done before the next mango season because I need the dirt. After this, I have to practice bass then do some encoding. You take care now, Sweetie.

Like I said before, my decision is to focus on Erin's happiness first. Are you feeling like having kids right now? Well, not right NOW. I'm just guessing that you feel like it. I do have a question though: what does an NFL blanket have to do with standing on a rock on the water at the beach in your bikini? I guess if you fall into the water, it would keep you warm. You're starting to look more like a mom, especially in that video. A very beautiful mom. I'm seeing your giving me 3 kids inshaAllah. That's how I designed your house, is for 3 kids. But there's a guest room downstairs. I want to name our first son Muhammad, and our first daughter Mary. You can name the rest of the kids. I will look after you, inshaAllah. I love you, and I need you. Would you like a hug?
