A place for open letters to the good people of the world.

Dear UT;

Good luck with the living arrangement logistics.

I mean it,

Platy.

And ...

Dear Sportschick;

Thank you so very much for the triumphant return of the cats.

Again, I mean it,

Platy

 

Dear Mayfly,

As soon as I come up with a response I feel is appropriate, I will respond.

Yours very humbly, ete etc

 

Dear UT,

I DON'T recommend The Vermonter or Shady Lawn unless you're into the whole seedy side of life; not that there's anything wrong with that. Despite MayFly's encounter in this Shiningesque establishment, hatchet- and ax-wielding freaks rarely make appearances here. I mean, c'mon, you're just as likely to run into an hatchet-wielding freak in one of the Dartmouth dorms

That said, I might have a solution, but give me a day to seek out the details to see if I can make it happen for you.

Sincerely,
Soon-to-be colleague

P.S. Enjoy the journey: windows down, volume up.

 

Dear Songbird,

Did you hire a shooter?

Yours in journalism,
Cadet

 

Dear Candidate,
Thank you applying for the Plain-Dealer. You know the drill by now.
Etc....

 

Dear Cadet,

Hola, amiga! Yes, I hired a shooter who has the type of shooter's eye I want shooting life for my pages. Terrific portfolio, and I've told said shooter that I'll paint the section (and other sections) with her art. She'll be here 6 weeks.

So, Cadet, how's life with YOU?

Sincerely,
Former state mate

 

Dear Songbird,

Congrats on the hire!

As for me? Pass the Advil.

Frustratingly yours,
Cadet

----------

Dear UT,

Congrats on the new job!

Xan should be fun to work for.

Best,
Cadet

 

Dear Cadet,

Advil's on the way. And thanks. I'm excited to have a talented shutterbug coming to make our paper better.

I hear a curing balm for headaches is to watch a football game in a certain "Bowl" painted in championship tones of "orange." You'd love it.

Sincerely,
Your headache remover

 

Dear Xan,

My idea of a headache remover is illegal in Texas.

Just kidding. :-*

Yours always,
Cadet

 

Dear Cadet,

I thought Texas' ban on sodomy was reversed.

Your dear-friend,

Write-brained

 

Dear Xan,

I think she's talking about a personal massager or maybe a condom demonstrator.

Love

SC

 

Dear Write-brained,

Thanks for the laugh. It was much needed.

Sincerely,
