Sunday starts a new week, right? My one comment: you’re right. Anyway, let’s clean up the potty mouths.

Actually, I said, “Oh, shit!” and I said you should have said, “Au contraire.” Alternately I could have said, “No shit.” Anyway, live and learn.

First, my eyesight is so bad I didn’t read your fine print telling me I shouldn’t even comment.
Second, I know this violates the “once a week” rule but I haven’t commented for ages so you must as a gentleman forgive me.
Third, and most important I HAD to correct my TYPO (above)
the last paragraph SHOULD HAVE READ “not that I’m NOT grateful FRESNO etc. If I didn’t make the correction I would be conveying the opposite of what I meant and I would be biting the hand that feeds you. Sorry. Sorry.
I’ve been under a lot of stress lately.

As a relative I would be eliminated from winning any of your competitions. My compliment is that although you are a gifted, albeit quirky, writer and I enjoy most if not all of your writing and your dry remarks where brevity is the soul of wit even on subjects like my forgetting to take

or however it’s spelled…I’m too tired to pull out my dictionary and I returned the French ones to the library after I wrote
Caitlin’s host family the most atrocious letter (trying to be complimentary about how great they were…where was

give you a job writing on a music journal…so, get with
it people (and by that I mean editors)…not that I’m grateful FRESNO magazine publishes your scintillating music reviews already…and other great articles too.

I know I’m well past the cut-off date for entry in the contest, but the other day I was typing an email and I remembered that it was you who taught me to use paragraphs in my email writing.
For some reason I had been writing emails in solid blocks, but you said, “hey, what do you have against paragraphs?”
And that fixed the problem.
So, thank you.

[...] to say, I’m disappointed in you twelve. I thought at least a couple would take part in the “Conlan’s Great” Challenge. But it looks like you’re all “Conlan’s Great” challenged! Haha… [...]
