in addition to being awesome in countless ways that matter to me, idris is awesome in ways that are relevant to and have come to the attention of a mathematics department at a university in the mid-atlantic. i bought him the flowers to celebrate the long-awaited job offer - they're tiger lilies, 'cause he's a fan of cats. so much a fan is he that he just happened to be wearing the tiger beer shirt at the time!
he's been waiting for a career opportunity like this one for a long time, but the mid-atlantic is a bit farther away from me than we're used to. so, that's tough... but it's only tough because he's special. and having someone special is very, very good.

I anticipated the "ouch" tag before I saw it. And every else I think of saying comes out wrong when the situation is both bitter and sweet. (I'm sorry... that he got a job. Congratulations... on being far apart.)
I wish you goodness.
As for talking... tomorrow afternoon? You pick the time?
He's a nice guy. Glad that both of you found each other!
