Good morning, Debbie. How are you feeling? If you need help filing a twenty-four-cent claim with Netflix, let me know. If I were a licensed lawyer, I would be ethically required to take a third of your recovery. I'm glad I am not, because I shall be spared paying taxes on whatever portion of the proceeds you choose to share with me. Maybe we can watch together a quarter of a dollar's worth of a movie from your queue. When I am wider awake I will do some more thinking about the economics of this matter. I documented the amount of time I was inconvenienced last night; I intend to figure out the ratio of those couple of hours to the total hours I customarily watch non-disk movies in a thirty-one-day month and calculate whether Netflix is being overly generous in its settlement offer. For the moment, however, I am going back to bed. I arose earlier than usual, merely to do a little streaming of my own.
Hope your cold symptoms have gone away. Please watch your step on icy everything this morning.
Love, Dave
