Mr. Cody. I'm sure there's more than one person that misses you in Texas. Here's to meeting new friends. You better stay in touch with me or no amount of clapping will bring you back from where I'll send you.
Holy Shit! Look what the cub caught. I'm GLADD you found me. I guess we have to know each other forever now. On a serious note: It was very good to meat you this year. I didn't know they made things like you in Boy-z, Idaho. Well, one down Race to see who show's up at who's city first? Stay in touch, ya hear!
It was so good to see you again..I'm looking forward to our next anniversary;-) The main reason I keep coming back is because of my poet peeps like you! Be good or at least good at it! Theresa

well, i'm SUPER excited about december! i've been singing to myself this little happy song that goes like "i get to see my boise boys! i get to see my boise boys! yay!"
Hey Cody,
I miss you brother.
I get scared sometimes that I won't be able to find people as truly wonderful as you and Team Boise.
But the inevitable is something to be expected and dealt with, rather than feared.
Much love.
Be well.

Hey Cody,
What was the name of the girl you were listening to in the hotel that last night when you hot boxed Andi?
Was it something like; Regina Specter?
Are you planning on getting a career in anything besides being awesome?
I love you and all of Team Boise, you guys made that trip fun and memorable, including the part where you hot boxed Andi and didn't even know it.
You rock.
