Yeah, I talked to him before. He was really big on conservation, too.
[They were both excited about All The Things.]
Wow, that's awesome! I never really had the brain for math. I can do what I need to do in the field, but that's way different from programming something.
[HA. HA HA. Ha ha ha. Sorey cannot know that he has hit across Dirk's greatest misery, the deep feeling of isolation and loneliness that once he was protected from but which has quickly come to constantly torment him.

I'd say it's a good thing. I like them all a lot.

Yeah, I think it's a good thing, too. Whenever I'm around my cousins, I can't really think of anything but being with them.
