I was stymied for a post idea tonight, and the best I could come up with was to tell you about the spare can of deodorant I bought to keep at school (because sometimes you just forget in the morning, y’know?), and Lloyd said that was TMI.
Instead, he suggested that I write something about his reply from David Segal.
Lauren: “Steven Segal wrote you a letter?”
Lloyd: “No, David Segal. He’s a writer for the New York Times. Check the e-mail.”
So I did. Um, there was no message.
Lauren: “Um, there is no message.”
Lloyd: “It’s just the subject line.”
Lauren: (squints to read it) “Awwww. What is he thanking you for? Are you his valentine?”
Lloyd: “Hmmpf. No. I wrote him a letter to tell him that I liked his article.”
Lauren: “Was it a love letter to tell him you like-liked his article?”
Lloyd: “Just write your stupid deodorant story.”
Brad says
No link to the article?
That’s cool that he wrote back. And it wasn’t a form letter! All my representatives ever send back to me are form letters.
Lloyd says
Sorry, here’s the article. Free registration may or may not be required.
Brad says
Thank you. I was pretty sure it wasn’t “John Horan, Former Chief of Merck, Dies at 90”, but I couldn’t choose from among some of the others.

I wrote to Anderson Cooper once after reading his book. I think the book was GREAT! He’s a fantastic writer! I received a form reply as well. It started with something funny, which I now forget, explaining the reason for the form reply. That’s Anderson…Keepin’ ‘Em Honest!

This is all about me. I’m typing this on my early birthday present: a Nook.
Kristi says
What? That’s a very early birthday present.

I keep a spare deodorant at work -- sometimes I forget, and sometimes I think I forget and that’s just as bad.
I don’t think that’s TMI, Lauren.
Lauren says
You’re like my soulmate, Karla.
