Reaching out to people who are strangers within their own bodies

THE email was welcome, because emails from this individual are always welcome.

I’ve worked with him for perhaps 30 years, because he’s always technologically ahead of the posse, easy to do a project with, even under deadline pressure, and a perfectionist without being a pain in the ass.

Accordingly, I assumed the email from Philip, although that’s not his real name, would be about business.
