Well then

I'm still as broke as I was in 2013 but by the grace of God, I managed to keep the music alive.  So while I have no friends, the music now has countless friends and profound influence and is helping my Natty make a living inshaAllah.  So Erin, if you want the music to help you make a living then you need to come out of hiding and get active.  No more of this "secret separation", if you want to be married to me, then start now already.  I get to be mysterious: you on the other hand, people need to see your face because it reassures them.  America is beautiful.  I assume that you need money, because salmon is not caviar.  I sure hope you didn't quit your sports gigs.  But please be seen as much as possible, even if it's only Instagram.  Right now you're hard for me to find, so much that it seems like I'll be finding Natty first when the money comes inshaAllah.  So please get active, and stay fit.  Yes, I am upset with you.  But I still love you.  😒

That's a nice jacket

Wow Natty, you look really sexy!  That's a beautiful jacket too.  It's very "Dancing Queen"-ish.  It must be very expensive.  Are you sure it's OK to get it wet?  Oh, they have a million of them.  What if they sell out?

By the way, I want to thank you for responding to my love.  I know it's a scary situation, but my heart really appreciates that I am not the only one doing all the talking.  Yeah big business is scary, but during a hurricane, the calmest place is in the eye.

I'm hungry

Hi Natty!  How are you today?  I hope you are doing and feeling great.  It's all the same old day really, and someday we will be together inshaAllah.  I'm hungry today.  Instead of my usual 2 burritos, I had 3 for dinner.  I put milk in the dough, so the tortillas browned easily, and were very soft.  I wrapped the tortillas with shredded lettuce, fried egg, chicken nuggets, sauteed onions, cheese and pickled radish.  No sauces necessary.  It has egg, do I don't need mayo.  The salted radish adds the flavor kick, so the burritos are very mild.  Yeah, I guess it is like breakfast.  Except that it's dinner.
Want one?

That jacket

Hi Natty!  Wow, what an awesome snapshot.  I absolutely had to put it in my slideshow.  What a wonderful and sincere smile you have, my darling.  My Natty you are so beautiful, and I love you.  Don't worry so much about not being ready for what is to come.  None of us are ever ready.  It is the way of Allah to test us from directions we do not perceive.  But you are going to do just fine, Natty.  InshaAllah, things will turn out just great for you and for us.  So you hang in there, don't worry so much, have tons of fun, keep safe, and pray.

You've had that furry jacket for a while already, huh?  My guess is that you got it when you started college, so that would make it about 5 years old.  It looks great on you, my Natty.  Take it to a pro who can spruce it up and make it look like new again.  Hang on to yourself.

I found another excellent singer on the Postmodern Jukebox.  This is Aubrey Logan, doing "Beauty and the Beast".  Fitting, right?  She's a mean trombone player, too.  What a great performance.  Don't you just love it when live music sounds like a recording?  Except for the aura.  Yes, live music has an aura about it that separates it from recordings.  Especially when the music comes from human beings, not machines.
