I think, when unusual things happen in our sitches (like suddenly using pet names or signing an email with "love" or "xoxo"), we have to see if there is something that has just happened in the WAS' life to prompt it. If we can make such a connection, we can use it again to see if it's real or just wishful thinking.
For instance, on Sunday, my wife called me about something trivial, and happened to mention that she had been listening to our "summer" playlist on her iPod. She told me she heard 2 Neil Diamond songs that made her think of me, and she felt melancholy about it.
Later that day, she sent me an email where she started with "Hey Mink" and ended with the pet name I always called her. The email was the most well-structured, lighthearted and happy email I had gotten from her in ages.
I think there was a connection between the two.
This has happened on a few other occasions as well.
So, when I see her on Saturday, you can bet Neil will play at some point during the day
