Monica ... it surprises me that my Patrick would appear to be uncaring, because he is not. But he did ask me to congratulate you on your "Mole-in-one"!!
Seriously he does totally understand why this would be disturbing ... something less traumatic would be his choice too! He's just a big 'ol softie, but does have a tad of a warped sense of humor at times!!
I'm sure that the next time I fly home, he will send me armed with a case of Juicy Fruit because our yard at home has a bzillion moles and he has been battling them for some time without success!!
