No alcohol today. Explain.

Oh, come on. I had a pretty good run of virtue last week, too. I went to bed early. Also, "thanks?" to FBCLA for what is undoubtedly the most drunken, earnest voicemail I have ever received that went on just long enough about how I have a drinking problem, delivered in a broken English and saliva-filled burblings that approached coherency long enough for me to glean that I am "evil" and Cap.'s "enemy." Does Laura make you guys do these things? It's like calling someone up, and telling them in German that they speak German. In all seriousness, it was very sweet of you guys, but you need to take some brief looks in the mirror if you at 12AM are that much drunker than the East Coasters you are intervening for are at 3AM.

Jack, I honestly don't recall the conversation, although I noted the next morning that I also called Eben and, for some reason, Schofield. Can you, as best as possible, repeat the contents?

strach, can you shed light on the wordings employed? I find it hard to believe I maligned Jack in anything but the most transparently jovial ways. Laura also accused me of challenging me to a screaming match.

It was, I have faith, all in good fun. My presence at work currently presents a full transcription.

Essentially, between our first and second phone conversation on Monday night, you were leaving me a phone message possessed of a certain non-brevity in which you very emotionally expressed concern that I was a drunk. You forgave me to certain extent, and also conceded that I might not be myself if I did not have such a weakness for substance abuse. You also told me you loved me very much and proposed that if I needed to I could look to foodreporter-in-law Eben as my "watchtower." You also promised that during your upcoming visit you would try to get my life back in order and expressed hope that I might grow to control my drinking well enough to realize my destiny as the greatest prose stylist of our generation, which was also very kind of you. You also said that I was your worst enemy, and Vali said that he, too, loved me even though I was an evil man. You took back over and enumerated some other people who also loved me, then admitted that one of them probably didn't "love" me, which I think neither I nor the gentleman in question will dispute, although I think we do have some sort of fraternal love.

I cannot say for sure what you might have spoken to Eben and Schofield about, but I would have to guess that it was probably about how much you loved them, and also making plans for your trip.

In the end, it certainly was very sweet-hearted and benevolent, but I just wanted to establish for the record that on the night in question I was actually playing the role of the somewhat but not entirely drunk guy.

My plans for New York as I now, soberly, conceive them, will not help anyone improve their life in the traditional senses. They focus on us going to A Salt and Battery and drinking a lot and having our talks.

We should probably schedule the April New York Achewood Dinner for your visit... Holy Thursday, perhaps?
