Last night I ran into a friend who I hadn't seen in a month. She asked if I wanted her to come over a blow chunks all over my house. A blog reader, she knew Sumner had the stomach flu and that Ramona fears I'll talk too much to Sumner and that I over-analyze my Christmas getting and that I think of sewer rats everyday. What more is there to say? Oh, lots, I never run out of things to talk about...but it is weird to be in one way communication with someone. It's not like Ha and Cha. They blog and I blog so I get the gist of their life and visa versa. Or like Alex, a committed blog reader. Since she's Ramona's teacher I see her several times a week so I don't feel so naked in front of her when she reads my blog...I can undress her daily.

So today I got one of the best emails I have ever received from a very, very dear old friend. She wrote that she reads my blog, which I didn't know, and she wrote...

I wanted to tell you that just now i felt this bump on
my neck and of course i thought I would pick at it and
guess what? It is that never-ending pore that you
used to squeeze the dickens out of! I pulled my hand
away and had this huge amount of digusto my finger!
Its still there and rip roaring!

I thought you would enjoy that update. Take care

And I do love that update. So raw. It's only fair.
