I see the ‘Michael’s’ as helping me learn more about dealing with the separation of personality and work…..works for me 
Dear El Nino
After two days of commuting in cold very windy rain your beginning is noted.
I’ve got a feeling your going to give me some interesting rides this winter. Looking forward to the adventures! After my ride home yesterday though I was thinking I’m going to need lots of chocolate for the hot chocolates that will be needed to get through this. I’ll send you the receipts for reimbursement.
