Great dinner

:)

Thanks for calling -- you saved me right when I was about to become rude, and that wouldn't have been good for the students. You know how impatient I can be. It was a welcome surprise. And dinner and hanging out with you is always the best part of my day. You make me laugh. :)

You should definitely go on the little trip with your [family] tomorrow; you'll have a good time. And you can bond. And you can get away from work! It's win-win.
