HOUSECLEANING

I'm back in the wild woods of CNY after a fantastic weekend in the metro DC area with Anita, Bailey, Anita's parents, and a whole additional cast of characters including a radio/TV announcer from Albany, a staffer for a prominent conservative Senator, and David Beckham. Well, the last wasn't in person (saw this movie, which is very cute and a good escapist couple of hours worth your nine bucks), but the rest were. And it was all good, clean fun. For the most part.

At any rate, thought I'd just answer some of the mail that's been accumulating in my hotmail account:

To "Alyssa C. Graham": No, I never did "notice that." And I prefer getting my prescription drugs at my local pharmacy, thank you very much.

To "Amanda D. Thompson": [to answer your question,] I don't like you because you're not real. You're actually a figment of some spammer's imagination. Go away and stop bothering me -- and my sex life is just fine with my "natural equipment," thank you very much.

To betty@nic.fi: I doubt that Friday is really "time for fun," as you put it, at least in the Marston household, at least this weekend. Plus, your message consisted entirely of consonants, so I have no idea what you wanted me to do.

To brett_marston@untd.com: Stop creeping me out by using my name, you jerk.

To "Jada D. Walker": I've cc-ed you the same note I sent to Amanda D. Thompson, above. For the record, I'm doing fine.

To "Lenny Bill": I'm not actually looking for "handsome women" at the moment, thank you very much. But your website will, rest assured, be the last place I would ever look for them, you moron. What kind of an idiot do you think I am?

To "Seth T. Kelly": If I were looking for an internet dating service, I'd probably go here. Leave me alone.

Well, that should do it. Oh, more substantially, in response to this post, Chris reminds me that Tony Snow is also a Davidson grad. Argh.
