That's Y I'm their favourite!
Yesterday was hella snowy an' gloomy. I thot it mite B a good idea 2 pay a visit 2 Gramps an' Iris in the afternoon, so I went over there w/the Dixierat, sed my hellos, gave Gramps a big kiss an' hug, and told Gramps what's been going on w/the band l8ly. I described Dunc, me, Eva, an' Luis all lined up singing 2gether while Ger drummed behind us. And Dixie tried 2 jump up on Gramps's lap, which he luvs it when she does that. As I was leaving, Iris was all, "Thanks 4 the magic, April." And I was all, "....What magic?" And Iris sed, "2day, U made the sun shine." Awww.

April Dear,
Thank you again for your wonderful visit. Your grandfather enjoyed it so much. He can't seem to stop smiling today, it's really nice to see.
Dear, you are *definitely* our favorite, and always will be!
Love,
Iris

April,
It sounds like you had a good visit with your Grandpa Jim. Just a little note to let you know how things are with me, but not too much detail in case someone tries to find me. I am safe and I learned some interesting things yesterday:
1. For all his Viking bluster, Thorvald stinks at skiing. Don’t believe what he tells you about how the Vikings used to ski on large planks of wood. Bad skier.
2. Lemurs are accustomed to habitats in Madagascar and not the coldness of Ontario and have no problem letting you know about it. They are however, excellent climbers and easily fit through prison bars.
3. My lawyer, Mr. Benis pointed out that with a sentence of 2 years less a day, I should have been in a correctional centre like Mimico in Toronto, or the ones in Brampton, Milton, or Hamilton. I should have not been placed in the Milborough prison with a newly-constructed short-drop scaffolding in the front with a big sign saying, “What Howard Deserves” and “Paid for by a Generous Contribution from the Johnston Institute for Better Living Business Endowment Fund” in little print on the front of it.
4. Mr. Benis thinks that with so many things which were wrong with my trial and sentencing that I should appeal, and would almost certainly be granted bail pending the hearing of the appeal, but a short drop hanging would get in the way of that. He is working with Ontario officials to get me incarcerated in a safer place than Milborough, who might be willing to forgive a prison break considering the circumstances.
5. Becky can’t follow instructions about things to bring or the place to meet people. I guess she has grown too accustomed to having handlers.
That’s all. I will tell you more later.

omg, iris did the cubest thing! she called my mom an' sed that she an' gramps needed me, 4 an emergency. mom was all, "what kind of emergency? if u need sum1 2 help u get rid of sum xxtra prime rib, i'll b happy 2 come over and take 1 4 the team, so 2 speak!" and iris was all, "no, no, it's just that yr dad's 'helpers' were here 2day, and we realized that they left w/out having pumiced jim's feet!" mom was like, "u r rite, this is definitely an 'april' kind of job. i'll send her over str8 away!"
i was kinda pissed, but i had a feeling iris was up 2 sumthing, so i just went. and when i got 2 their apt, guess who was there? ger! iris was all, "dear, we feel just terrible that yr parents insist on keeping u yung lovebirds from having ne 'alone' time, so yr gramps and i have worked a bit a subterfuge 2 get u 2 a nice little d8!"
i was all, "i dunno, mom's got spies all over town!" and iris winked and sed she'd thot of everything. so ger and i r @ a cute little bistro in the "frenchy" part of mboro. it's so cute an' little an' xxclusive, it doesn't even have a name. this is just genius! iris an' gramps r so cube!
